I’m glad you brought this up because I am 4 months into Tymlos and I now have belly fat and I don’t feel like exercising as much. I’m tired all the time and am wondering if my metabolism is being affected. Is it a good thing to be on a med if it doesn’t help me gain strength thru exercising? I was gaining muscle when weight lifting and feeling good prior to Tymlos. I’m becoming disheartened by the whole thing! Does this go away when stopping?? I’m thinking of going the HRT route post Tymlos as I don’t know if I can handle Reclast after this.
Thanks for sharing. How long have you been on it?
Thanks for this info - very interesting.
The PTH analogs also increase cortisol levels which leads to more belly fat.
I've been on both Tymlos and Forteo in the past year and noticed significant increases in my belly measurement; increases of 1 to 2 inches with no change in diet. In face, I am eating a better diet (more plants, more protein, fewer carbs, no to low sugar) and an increased level of activity.
I'm not sure that injecting in the thigh would make a difference as the analog enters the blood stream and impacts calcium levels systemically.
