Tymlos seems to be the one bone building med that most tolerate really well. I finished my 2-year protocol of Tymlos in June of this year and other than a few minor side effects, it really was easy peasy. Injections were simple and because I injected at bedtime, the early side effects I had when injecting in the morning were unnoticeable. I started at full dose from the beginning and never lessened the dose. I had an almost 15% increase in my spine and 3.5% in my hips. I’ve never fractured thank God even though my numbers were pretty bad (i.e. -4.7 in my spine). I wish I could have continued it for another 6 months but doc said no. Now I’m on bioidentical hormones but my rheumatologist wants me on Evenity but I’m holding off for a bit but don’t want to lose my gains from Tymlos. Always decisions to make with Osteo. Don’t be nervous about Tymlos…you can start at half dose for a few days to see how u tolerate it and then move up as @windyshores suggested. One day at a time, one step at a time. Rose 🌹

Thanks, Rose, for sharing your experience! I am so happy Tymlos worked so well for you both regarding tolerating the drug and increasing your bone density! I've been debating morning or night for taking Tymlos and was leaning toward morning because I know I can be more consistent with the mornings than with evenings, but I am reconsidering that now. It will be trial and error for awhile, I think. Yes, one day at a time!
