Is Tymlos the same as Forteo? I did two years of daily injections. It did wonders for my bones. You can only do two years of that and they put me on prolia. Did great. I went from severe osteoporosis to one point away from Osteopenia. Miss one dose of prolia and ended up where I started and had multiple compressions fractures and spinal fusion on L4&5. 🥺

@babrardin Tymlos and Forteo both work through the parathyroid and are similar but not the same. Actually the two year limit has been lifted for Forteo. But my doc told me that these drugs work best the first 6 months, then a little less the next 6 months and so on. My doc is "saving" some time on Tymlos for the future.

My doc won't prescribe Prolia for me (not that I want it) exactly for the reason that bone density drops and fracture risk goes up if stopped.

I am amazed that missing one dose did that! I am so sorry. I have 7 vertebral fractures and know what it feels like!
