DEXA results after mostly partial Tymlos dosing

I am so glad to hear of the spine improvements on Tymlos, since I just started it because my spine has degenerated to -3.6 after five years on risedronate (bisphosphonate). Did you also do a lot of weightlifting, walking etc? I have just started some weights. I've always walked a lot, and was a runner until a few years ago, but that didn't seem to be enough to prevent the decline in my spine.

I would not go near weights, myself. My DEXA was almost the same as yours but I have fractures. I walk and before COVID did tai chi. I suspect, for me, that weights and exercise aren't big factors in my bone loss. Menopause and cancer meds. I had my 20% gain without undue attention to diet or exercise. I just walked every day. I hope this helps you not stress over this and that you are careful with weights! ps I took 3000 units of D3 because I read that Tymlos eats D3- and my level stayed the same throughout. I took 800mg calcium because my levels tended to be over 10. I cannot eat dairy.
