Is it covered by insurance past one year? Studies don't necessarily translate into practice, quickly. I am glad you have been able to do this and I will ask my doc about it.

The Evenity site still says 12 monthly doses.

You seem to have a great doc who is flexible, thoughtful and is personalizing care. Is your doctor stepping outside protocol? Did Amgen provide any assistance? Did your insurance company support this regimen?

The short acting Alendronate is also interesting. I was going to use Reclast because it is long acting! Which might mean breaks. But if my DEXA's are not good enough, I might do the Alendronate instead and go back on Tymlos or try Evenity. So thanks for the idea.

I have been concerned about using any bisphosphonate in case it interferes with future bone-building meds, so the idea that that interference could be lessened with a shorter acting bisphosphonate is one I will remember .
