@windyshores, Yes, ultimately finding the right doctor is essential. In the mean time, we need to always advocate for ourselves.

Thankfully, you advocated for your daughter. My 4 year old grand-daughter came down with double pneumonia and ended up in the hospital for a month. They put her on a respirator and into an induced coma. I believe they made decisions that saved her life.

There's good and bad in every profession. I just feel that paying out bonuses to doctors who prescribe expensive drugs is blatantly wrong and a conflict of interest.

I went to PT yesterday, and the lady therapist who was helping me told me she was put on Fosamax for mild osteopenia and it affected her esophagus so much that she couldn't eat or swallow and had to have her esophagus stretched twice.

Stories like that make me shake my head. The stories about reactions to Tymlos on drug.com
are horrifying and the drug only gets a 4.7 out of 10 rating. A couple people on that site said there was no improvement in their scores either! Yikes.

I am going to try it, and hopefully I will have a positive testimony about the drug in the future.
Thanks for all your feedback, which has been encouraging and not discouraging.
