They all have side effects! But you have to read up on them. They’re really rare and everybody lands on something that they have to work with with their qualified doctor to determine what’s best for their needs. I’m doing three annual rounds of RECLAST with two years of TYMLOS. I believe the side effects. I’ve experienced are part of the need. I’m very sensitive to my body and having my body react to the medicines means that there’s a need for them to do their magic. I had a horrible time with the first RECLAST but my doctor and team didn’t prepare me the way I found out later. I should’ve been prepared with the extra water and Tylenol before going in. Going on the TYMLOS was full of adjustments for the first two months. My doctors nurses team said to just hang with it because the side effects go away like magic after the second or third month. And that was the case! I had to make an adjustment not doing the TYMLOS in the morning, but doing it at night and I did find that injecting in my tummy made my tummy kind of bloated so I landed on injecting in my thighs and after three months, there was no fatigue no nausea no headaches nothing and I don’t even know I do it every day. It’s a quick blip in the evening and I’m good. No one should be on bone medication’s for a long period of time because then there are side effects. The short amount of time that you’re on them is good enough because they continue to work in your system to do good. I decided to do bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at the same time and up my exercise regime to help make my bones and muscle strong.

hi, I'm 63 and I refused to start any osteoposis meds so far because of my anxiety toward side effects, but I understand it imminent... May I ask you at what age have you started bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? Thank you.
