I thought that Tymlos was limited to two years?

@bkb the time limit was lifted on Forteo, and should be lifted soon for Tymlos. Those of us who started at a low dose have trouble determining how long we have been on it! I did Tymlos in June 2021, then restarted at a low dose Oct. 2021. and by Dec. (maybe, can't remember) was on 6 or 7 "clicks" out of 8. I just stopped Tymlos last month, so over 2 years.

One issue it that it tends to stop building bone. For me, tests showed that around 18 months. But it maintains. If I cannot tolerate anything else I may try to stay on it!

@jmla I am not sure if my spine was -3.3 or -3.6, and can't access the scores at the moment. However I have had 7 spinal fractures! I hope you haven't had any!

As WindyShores noted, the FDA lifted the two-year limit on Forteo. Tymlos won’t be far behind. If continuing for a bit longer prevents bone loss, I’m all for staying on it!
