I’m about to end my protocol on Tymlos after 2 years and found that injecting prior to bedtime really helped with any noticeable side effects. I can honestly say that the only side effect that was a bit concerning in the beginning was the increased heart rate but that only lasted about an hour. I did have an occasional headache but again that dissipated pretty quickly. Over the 2 year period, I’ve had occasional nausea, and some bone discomfort but otherwise this journey with Tymlos has been pretty uneventful. I can say that over the past 6 months I’ve noticed a fat gain in my stomach. I’ve always had a little pouch, and as a very active person, that’s been my biggest issue. Several women on this site have experienced the same issue which I hope will resolve when I end Tymlos in July. As of my last Dexa scan in November, bone density in my spine has had an 11% increase. I’m praying that in July, when I have my next scan, the numbers will be even better.
This journey is not an easy one but we have many options and we always hope we’re choosing the right one for our bodies. I would stay on Tymlos if it were possible, but that 2-year limit has me in a place of deciding what’s next. I really hope Tymlos works for you. Rose 🌹
