@lolamarie why did you lose hope about Tymlos? I had amazing gains. Many others have posted on their success in getting onto a therapeutic dose by starting with 1/4 dose and moving up. That option should be reassuring for you. I had NO side effects on 1/4 dose and after maybe 6 weeks I could do 7/8 dose very tolerably, even though initially a half dose was torture. I hope you will try this. I actually miss my Tymlos!
