So glad to see your comment. I am so afraid to take Tymlos. 1) Did you have any side effects? 2) How long were you on that drug before you saw the improvement? 3) Did you need to switch to a bisphosphonate drug when you finished Tymlos? 4) Was it difficult doing the shots each day?

@susanjohnston I answered these questions on another thread I believe, at length, but will be shorter here:

I miss being on Tymlos. I dealt with side effects by going down on the dose and titrating up. I took 7/8 of the full dose and had 19+gains in spine and 9% in hip at 18months. The pen has adjustable dosing.

I did 4 months Evenity (only one in my MD's practice) then Reclast.

The shots are no big deal. Honest. Small needle. I switched to morning and the headache went away. When I stopped at two years I kept thinking I had to do the shot!
