Hi @windyshores ,
I’ve gone full circle since our last conversation. My pain is still severe and pain doctors telling that they can’t help me anymore. Thinking about functional medicine. I am still on Evenity because doctor pushes me to finish. My bone density is behind bad and he is telling me that I probably not be approved for another bone builder. He thinks I should go on Prolia next. I can’t think straight because my pain clouds my mind. I probably need to insist to switch me to Tymlos. I am very skinny - my belly doesn’t have no fat- just skin. Question: I remember you were writing me that you are tiny too. Is it easy to inject just under the skin? I am trying to gain some weight without any success. I dropped 20 lbs this year. Doctors can’t explain why. Maybe some other ladies who are 100-110 lbs can share experience too. I have to be prepared in case he decides to prescribe Tymlos after Evenity or I talk him in to switching me on Tymlos after 7th shot. Appreciate any opinion or advice.

@sunny65 I am 105 and shorter by the minute 🙂 Injecting Tymlos was no problem at all. You pinch the skin, stick the small needle in, and let go as you inject.

The discussion of belly fat puzzles me. My belly got puffy but I didn't think of it as more fat. It went back down after I stopped. Fractures make my belly stick out more than Tymlos!

So so sorry you are in pain. Does anything help?

I’ve been on Tymlos since November 4 th, started getting headaches about 4 weeks after, loss of appetite, some constipation ( which I use generic miralax twice a week) which has worked and nausea from the headaches! Is this common?
