I was very hesitant to take meds, but after talking to a very fit retired PT I decided to try Tymlos. I started in January and had a few uncomfortable symptoms the first month or two, such as, racing heart and headaches. But by the third month I was very lethargic and had jaw pain. When I called the endocrinologist to inform him he told me to try Prolia. I didn’t want to and then my insurance wouldn’t cover it. I spoke to a nurse when I called to let them know I didn’t want to take Prolia and she encouraged me to do Bone Builders classes. I was surprised that they didn’t try to convince me to try another Med. I’ve just started Bone Builders and I’m doing weights as well as taking a Calcium /Magnesium supplement. I’m also eating a lot of protein and more dairy. I didn’t mind the daily injections. I worry about the side effects of the meds too. They all sound scary especially necrosis of the jaw! BTW - my dexascan #’s were -3.2 lumbar spine and -2.6 femoral neck.
