Hesitant to begin drug treatment for my osteoporosis

I have a long history of not tolerating pharmaceuticals and even some supplements. I've also had adverse reactions to homeopathic remedies. They have sent me to the ER numerous times throughout my life....that's why I am not hopeful about Tymlos no matter how many other people are fine with it.

@lolamarie I am also sensitive to many things: foods, meds, scents etc. I have a long list of meds I cannot take and am limited in treatments. I also have lupus and atrial fibrillation which limit drugs. For years I tried osteoporosis drugs and could not tolerate them, During cancer treatment my endocrinologist was too nervous to prescribe Reclast, which landed me in a dire situation with fractures.
Tymlos was a godsend for me, because after going to the ER after a full dose, I restarted at 1/4 dose and slowly moved up. It felt miraculous as I was able to consistently do almost a full dose for the rest of the two years and my spine went from severe to borderline.
You may find you tolerate something else so not suggesting anything just letting you know that many of us are very very sensitive to meds but find something that we can tolerate that works.
