Can you take tymlos and prolia

There are still plenty of things that can be done. I didn't mean to scare you.
Learn as much as you can, try to get those tests, and have good discussion with your doctor, or try to find a different doctor. I'm nearly 54. My doctor gave me a Prolia injection last year. I found this group, did a lot of research, decided not to get another Prolia injection, and found a new doctor who is running a ton of tests before I embark on any further treatment.

oh thank you. How do you suggest I look for another dr. I asked to be referred to a rheumatologist but that is 4 to 6 mo away. I am so afraid my prolia will run out and only be on the tymlos that I will have vcf again. Good to know someone else is young. Not discounting older women but I plan on being around for a good while longer and I really want to get a plan for now and long term.

The wait times to see specialists is nuts. I really lucked out. I have a new insurance plan that started on Jan 1, I called an osteoporosis specialy clinic on the 2nd, and got in on the 4th at 8 am. Where I live in the upper midwest, it turns out that 8 am tends to be the least preferd time slot in winter. I found my new doctor by searching for osteoporosis specific clinics, and doctors who specialize in osteoporosis. I found a specialty clinic that is on my plan, asked my PCP for a referal, and got the appointment. I have to drive a long way on rural roads to get there, but, for me, it's worth it.

Thanks for sharing the video. I literally had to watch it in parts because i got so upset. If this is correct, I am really a lost cause. I am 56. I have been on prolia at least 4 years. I still have 3 months before another prolia injection and now the new supposedly "osteo" dr has put me on tymlos, which is reversed sequence. In 3 months she does not want to renew the prolia. Her plan is for me to stay on tymlos 18 mo then back to the prolia. I am so worried. I feel like I am doomed. I really don't know what direction to go. Prior to 3 months ago, I was extremely athletic, hiking, running, walking, and biking around 200 miles a week. Now I can only do short walks or hikes and strength training exercises.

I am assuming the the the rheumatologist said it was ok to go off the prolia to the tymlos. I am trying to educate myself but the more I read the more worried I become. Some articles say the only meds you can't relay off prolia with are bisphosphonates and I have also read not to take bisph with tymlos. Also read tymlos doesn't work well after being on prolia. So confusing and nerve wracking. Please let me know once you get bone markers. My dr refuses to even order them to have a baseline.

If it were me I would be calling the rheumatologist/endocrinologist office directly. Ask them if they will give you an appointment then have your PCP send the referral.

Tried that. Will not do it.
