Has anyone been using Tymlos?
Has anyone been using Tymlos? I received devastating news that my bone density score is 4.6, much worse than my age of 72. Recommendation is Tymlos.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.
How have you been on Tymlos med? We are in 2025 and just curious where you are now and how side effects were etc. I am trying to decide between Forteo and Tymlos
how has using Tymlos helped? Did your DXA scan improve?
How are you now? Did your DXA scan improve and what are you doing to maintain your gains in bone if any? Did you ever get side effects using Tymlos? Trying to decide if I should start.
This is the first I have heard of bone being brittle that you build after Tymlos drug. Is Forteo the same? I have heard bone is stronger after you improve your bone density from these drugs??
I wish I had been told to try taking it every other day. My side affects were so bad after two weeks I decided I couldnt live like that and quit. Waited several years. Now just started Reclast IV once a year for 2 yrs. My numbers started like yours. T-4.8. Actually before the Tymlos it was T-5.2 but he said the change was due to arthritis in the spine somehow makes the DEXA look better than it is. Dont understand that but that is what hs said. Hope I can tolerate the Reclast. I had it a few years back & had a month of flulike symptoms. Only 5 days now but so far no problems.
I had significantly more side effects on Forteo than Tymlos. I quit taking Forteo because of them. I am now on Evenity.
Forteo is a synthetic version of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) while Tymlos is a synthetic version of a parathyroid-related hormone peptide.
I just started 2 weeks ago. Started on 4 clicks take it at 9:45pm. So far a little nauseous after I take shot but it goes away in a few minutes. I will advance to entire dose next week. Hoping for the best as I don’t do well with drugs.
