Good evening @darla1. I am so sorry to hear about your body's uncomfortable response to Tymlos. Yes, I handled Tymlos injections for two years, and my bone density increased. My experience was just before the clicks were optional, so I started at the top of the climb. Before Tymlos, I was prescribed Boniva, which was just not working for me, complete with pain and discomfort after every dosage. Both my endocrinologist and PCP at the time encouraged me to try Tymlos or Forteo. I actually chose Tymlos because it was less expensive than Forteo. That was four years ago and now I am taking weekly capsules of alendronate, which was recommended by my Mayo Clinic endocrinologist.

I sure wish it was possible to take a class or workshop about our options. I knew absolutely nothing about osteoporosis. I don't think my mother ever took any medications, and I did not have any other friends or colleagues to lend me a hand. At least now we have resources and supportive folks to help us.

May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
