Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos?

My endocrinologist, chair of endo at a major hospital in MA, won't prescribe Evenity after Tymlos because there is "no data as yet." I got a second opinion two days ago, with the same response. I was told research is being done on that sequence.

I responded that I was afraid that if I do Reclast after Tymlos, and do Evenity later, that effectiveness will be less due to the Reclast. Doc said no, and that saving Evenity for later was a good idea. Of course the two year limit has been lifted for Forteo, not sure about Tymlos but it will be if not already. I also would like better scores before "locking in."

So many on this forum are taking Evenity after Tymlos or Forteo. I participated in a masterclass with Dr. Lani Simpson and a patient who had done this and had more gains on the Evenity after doing well on Tymlos.

I am curious how docs are able to prescribe this course of meds elsewhere but not in my area of MA. How are you getting Evenity after Tymlos? I would seriously travel! PM me if that is better. Thanks!

I think docs could prescribe Evenity anywhere. There may be a ‘movement’ in your area, lead by prominent physicians, to not prescribe it.

@susanfalcon52 you may be misunderstanding. Of course my docs prescribe Evenity. They are not, however, following Tymlos with Evenity, due to "lack of data." For that reason- lack of data- according to my docs, noone should be prescribing Evenity after Tymlos (or Forteo).
