Thank you for the info. All I do know it appears they all have terrible side effects and there is not one that is successful, otherwise, everyone would be on it and able to get out of being classified as osteoporosis.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, I would love to be on one of them….

@sandy0257 I went from severe osteoporosis (-3.7) to borderline (-2.5) on Tymlos and minimized side effects by starting at a low dose and moving up as my body adjusted. Others may tolerate other meds better. These meds absolutely do work, but noone would say they are easy. The thing is, fractures are harder!

Agree, reading about all the side effects is awful. From what I’ve read here, not everyone has bad side effects on meds, especially if you’re able to tailor doses. The side effects and risks from fractures and surgeries aren’t fun either. It’s hard.
