Thank you! I am both grateful/optimistic about having the opportunity to start Tymlos, and at the same time anxious/apprehensive. I have been blessed to not have to take many meds for anything in my life (at this time I am only on one and that just for the last year—unrelated to osteoporosis ). I don’t take that for granted, believe me. So the idea of daily self injections with possible side effects is scary. The idea of the actual shot and if I will do it right, the idea of gaining weight in my ab area that I can’t afford to gain, the idea of side effects especially vertigo and dizziness, and the idea of having to take even more med of another type after the Tymlos—all bother me. But not as much as the real possibility of fracture as so many have so graciously shared here about how challenging that can be! Their words of caution embolden me and make me want to face this head on and do what I can.

The kindness of so many courageous, generous women sharing their encouragement and advice from their experiences here have made me feel immeasurably better. I’ll put on my big girl panties and do what needs to be done when the med finally arrives this week! Thank you!
