Tymlos One-on-One Support program?

I wonder why the Tymlos didn't work for you? Did your doctor have any thoughts on it? So many people on this site recommend it, that it makes me wonder why it works for some and not others. I've been on it for 2 months and fractured a rib a couple weeks ago, so wondering why the Tymlos didn't protect the rib. I personally would much rather not take the shot if it's not going to help me, as I frankly don't like the fast heartbeat that persists an hour and a half after taking it. I'm also at risk because I've had radiation. So just wondering if others have had a similar reaction of not experiencing improvement on Tymlos?

I am interested in you getting a reply. I had radiation from breast cancer 20 years ago but my breast cancer oncologist and surgeon had no issues with me taking the medication being my radiation was more directed to tissue is my guess. I’ve been given the impression that the radiation issue is with direct radiation to bone. I wish Tymlos would clarify this but thinking they are leaving that issue with our physicians.

My guess is that the Tymlos just didn't have enough time to work in your case. Building bone takes a long time. For example, turnover of our entire skeleton (breakdown and replacement) takes 7 to 10 years.

I had a lower T-score of -4.6 in the spine and have been on Tymlos for 8 months so far and am waiting for results. I was told it takes about 4 months for Tymlos to offer some protection from fracture.
