Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

Thanks @windyshores. Are you done with Tymlos? I saw somewhere that you might try Evenity next? I'm going to stay on 2 clicks until I feel that I've adjusted. I was thinking a week. It's only been 3 days on two clicks. It's funny I thought longer until I checked the calendar. Quality of life is important at my age and I want to still be able to do some things. Your input has been so helpful!

I have to admit that even after all this time, there are days when I am a little woozy when I go to morning art class. But when I go, I feel better!
My doc- and my second opinion endo- did not want to prescribe Evenity after Tymlos. They said there is no data and wanted Reclast.
I periodically sent my endo accounts of others doing Evenity after Reclast and he wrote "Thank you for your persistence. We will agree to prescribe Evenity." I thought that was slightly humorous. I talked with him and he says he is not against it but cannot recommend it.
I took a master class more than two years ago with Dr. Lani Simpson who was a well-regarded proponent of natural approaches but was about to go on Tymlos herself. One of the presenters was a patient who did Evenity after Tymlos and had more gains.
My spine went from -3.3 to -2.5 (though it might be -2.6 due to a fracture effect; it is not always certain which vertebrae fractures) , my hip improved but my femur neck is still -3.6 (Form -4.1). I want more progress !
I am nervous like everyone else. There is no opporunity to ramp up and adjust to Evenity! I will try it and if side effects are literally not tolerable (and I will tolerate a lot) then I will do the 20% Reclast and hope to be able to do that.
