I am afraid of trying Tymlos and other drugs due to side effects

I am on my second week of Tymlos with no ill effects yet.
My endo thought Tymlos would be best for me but it scared me. The administration, side effects and follow up with other drugs and I am 65. I would like to think I have many years ahead of me.
Just before my follow up appointment and beginning Tymlos I fractured my L3.
I wanted to believe that diet and exercise would be enough but my painful experience has turned my thinking around. Tymlos is now my friend, I am grateful for it and am hopeful for a supportive outcome.
This group and the information I have found here has been a huge factor in turning my thinking around to an accepting, realistic one.
I don’t even feel afraid of side effects. If I could cope with life through this recent fracture I can handle taking medication and finding a silver lining.

I am so happy to read your post. I may have to start Tymlos and I’ve been petrified with some of the posts. I’m on Prolia now and may have to come off. I know it’s not as successful once you’ve been on Prolia. Unfortunately, I may not have a choice. It’s Tymlos or fractures. The cost also concerns me. I have been approved by my plan. I’m not sure of the deductible. When I get my final diagnosis I’ll call and see.
