This is not an easy journey for us. We want to do what will improve our bone density without the side effects. I’m 72. Tymlos definitely improved my spine numbers and I’m very thankful for that. Very few side effects and definitely tolerable. My hormones have been non-existent since I had a complete hysterectomy in my 30’s and only stayed on hormone replacement for a short period of time. Therein the extreme bone loss at an early age.
My cardiologist is very educated on hormone replacement and says the studies done in 2002 were flawed. He says we need them and without them we risk so much. He believes they protect our bones, heart, moods, sleep, etc. I trust his judgement and have recently read many articles agreeing with him. Praying he’s right. So I’ll give that a try when I go off Tymlos in June. Rose
