How long did your doc have you on Tymlos?

My bone specialist felt it was the best option since I can no longer do any of the other specialized bone health meds and I had lost everything gained by Prolia. Was also off Prolia for 18 months before started Prolia if makes a difference per your resources? What specific tests are you referring to other than dexa as I’ll mention when we meet after I’ve been taking for a few months
?

@omgirl the P1NP and CTX. Blood tests done early, fasting.
From McCormick's book: "If you've been treated with denosumab (Prolia), sequencing to teriparatide (Forteo) or abaloparatide (Tymlos) or even romosozumab (Evenity) will increase cortical bone porosity, accelerate bone loss, and heighten risk of fracture. If your doctor suggests this type of sequential therapy, please get a second opinion." My endo says the same thing.
Not sure how this applies to someone who was off Prolia and then on again for a short time, if that is your situation. It seems we all have to take a bisphosphonate, preferably Reclast, at some point to lock in gains, or we lose what we gained.
