Greetings @foxylady75, and Welcome to Mayo Connect. My experience with Tymlos was interesting and without any negative reactions. #1. My mother never shared anything about osteoporosis with me. #2. I was on the medication that frightened the world in 1995. I was living in Hawaii where the important news on page one was usually about Asian countries. By the time I became aware of the "danger" of breast cancer........I simply stopped taking the medication and prayed that I had escaped the threat.

Finally, when I was 74, my PCP here on the mainland ordered scans and told me that I needed to be on some preventive osteoporosis medication. She mentioned three options and I chose Tymlos because it was the least expensive. It was just my luck that in addition to being able to afford it, I had absolutely no side effects.

I was also grateful to see better scan scores at the end of my Tymlos journey. The only feature I missed was the ability to monitor the dosage. However, I was lucky to be able to have a full dose every morning without any negative reactions.

Good luck on your journey. It will be helpful!
