Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos?

I had Evenity after Forteo, but unfortunately I cannot help you. I was never given the option of partial treatments and my results from any of these meds has never been improvement. My endocrinologist was using standard procedure, and my new endocrinologist remarked that he would not follow Forteo with Evenity. He never said why not, probably because it was too late. I had no side effects from Evenity. My Dexa score had worsened. He put me on Reclast, again the full dosage, and I did have a side effect - muscle pain in my legs which remains 2 months after. All our bodies react differently to meds in general. I am happy you had so much success so far and feel that will continue. I wish I had had your endocrinologist!

The partial dose of Tymlos and ramping up was my idea. The full dose put me in the ICU with afib and tachycardia. With fractures, I was desperate to get on something. He agreed but didn't suggest.
My doc has always been reluctant to put me on Reclast but it is the only option in his view. During cancer treatment with meds that worsen bones, most people do Reclast but he would not put me on it so I lost bone density pretty drastically. Now he knows I have to take it but he is concerned about how sensitive I am to meds. So the test dose and leaving dose up to me are his ideas this time!
Your second doc sounds like my doc in not using Evenity.
I am so sorry you have had no improvement. Is there a parathyroid issue going on? It seems like there must be a reason that none of the meds have helped. I hope something works and thanks for responding!
