@fili123 I just finished 18 months of Tymlos (and had a Reclast infusion yesterday). I was VERY anxious about giving myself injections! I had my husband do it for the first couple of weeks, but then he had to go out of town for a few days, so I bit the bullet and did it myself. I honestly almost called a friend to come give me the shot! It took a few days (or more, lol) to get used to it, but then it was easy. Do you have the little chart of your stomach with the squares - Tymlos sent it & you can also download & print. That helped me with placement.

I just turned 61 and my spine was -3.2 originally (at age 58). After about 6 months on Tymlos it was -2.8 and after 18 months it was -2.4, which is over the line to osteopenia! My hips only changed from -1.9 to -1.8. I stopped at 18 months because my doctor didn't think I'd get more gains since it had slowed down so much. I just posted on the positive experiences with Reclast thread that after 24 hours I haven't had any side effects!

Thank u for replying and for the info on the little chart with squares. I will look for it on line.
I live in CA and my Dr hadn’t been too helpful. I get most of my info from others on this site.
So happy you achieved good results.
I’m only starting on 4 clicks to see how well I tolerate it. My Dr wasn’t aware you were able to titrate the medicine.
Thanks again and if u have any other tips please let me know.
