I’m at Mayo now for my yearly physical and found out my bone mass in left hip had reduced rapidly within the past year, Mayo has been watching it through bone density test for several years. After my scan I was told I needed to start taking Fosomax and I was so concerned about side effects. I researched alternatives. After another conversation with my Executive Health program doctor he made an appt with the endocrinologist here at Mayo. It was a great idea and I am now at peace with what I need to do. She is allowing me one year to try and rebuild bone mass through lifting weights, more cardio, healthier eating and taking better care of myself. Also, I will start the supplement Algae Cal. I’m just not ready to settle on taking Fosomax. Do your research and if you have issues such as me, I encourage you to see an endocrinologist at Mayo. I am praying the life changes will make the different to me. I realize its all up to me.
What have you decided to take after Tymlos? I stop Forteo in July. I see Dr. Mannstadt in May, one week after my bone density test.
From the former Physician's Desk Reference. You have to go to Dosage and Indications.
