Thank you for your reply. I do have a LIPUS bone stimulator. I am on day 70 of using it. Just curious why you are using a partial dose of Tymlos. Do you have less side effects or none? I did start Tymlos 8/24/2024 at 80mcg. I also have MGUS which was diagnosed in August of 2023. There is some research suggesting that MGUS does have skeletal significance. Not sure if this is complicating my healing. Thank you again. Good luck to you.

I am very sensitive to most medications. When I first started Tymlos at the full dose, I couldn't tolerate the side effects. I have stayed on half a dose, because I am a fall risk with low blood pressure. Tymlos lowers blood pressure more. I broke 5 bones and had a concussion within 18 months. I do not want to fall again. The fragility fracture of my foot was the only break that was not from a fall. Also, I have way too much calcium in my urine and am at the high end of the range for the amount of calcium in my blood. I will talk to my endocrinologist about these issues at my appointment next month. I take the medication at night, so I don't notice the dizziness. The only side effects that I have during the day are constipation, frequent urination and vein pain behind my knees. Tymlos apparently expands the blood vessels.

I sure hope that the bone stimulator is working and that you are healing. Good luck.
