Can you go on Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity? Tymlos and Forteo build bone. Evenity builds bone and is an antiresorptive like Prolia and the bisphosphonates. though less antiresorptive than the other two.
The problem with Prolia is what to do after you stop it. You cannot take a break or stop without risking a rapid drop in bone density. This is why my doc is not prescribing it. So what does your doc say you would go on after a few years on Prolia? Or does your doc want you on it forever? Long term use may pose the risks that concern you.
I have read studies that show that the bone building drugs are more effective if you don't take bisphosphonates or Prolia. If your scores are severe, your rate of bone loss is significant or you have fractures, insurance may cover the bone builders. Especially since you have tried alendronate. (I am on Tymlos)

What side effects have you experienced with Tymlos? I am considering going on Tereparatide if I can get approved. My endocrinologist is concerned bc I have a blood clotting disorder, essential thrombocytosis,. Tereparatide promotes a proliferation of mast cells and ET is a proliferation of platelets. I have a query into my hematologist. It’s compelling bc I’ve had 6 stress fxs in my lower leg in 2 years

My doctor only discussed Prolia which she recommended for 5 yrs and then zolendronate 1 dose would be given 6 months after stopping Prolia. I am, however, interested in knowing more about Evenity. Because it is so recently on the market, it is hard to get results from people who have completed the 12 month treatment. Thank you for your perspective.
