Update: I started my second pen this week and went up from 40 to 50mcg. I felt fine and let my doctor know that I had bumped it up a bit. He told me to continue at 50 and try 60 in two weeks. I’m very glad to have increased my dose. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope I see the same gains as you’ve had, although my spine bmd is lower than yours was. Depending on how long my body continues to respond to Tymlos, my doctor has suggested that he may keep me on it beyond 2 years. I very much hope my first blood test shows that it’s working at all. Fingers crossed!

@jmla yay! My spine was -3.6 and femur neck -4.1. But I have 7 spinal fractures, three from trauma in 2006 and the rest osteoporotic.

Blood tests after 18 months seemed to show my Tymlos was no longer doing much but docs kept me on for 26 months while we figured out what to do next, while I recovered from COVID and so on and docs said it was at least maintaining me. I wish I could just stay on it! If I cannot tolerate Evenity I might ask! Forteo is now approved for more than 2 years.... Good luck with your doses!!

I thought that Tymlos was limited to two years?
