By what percentage did your T-scores improve after a round of TYMLOS?

I'm in the same boat as you on the fence about starting. The side effects sound daunting at best. I have read that hyperbaric chamber and the PEMF (electromagnetic pulse) Bemer treatments have had some results. Seems crazy in this day and age we don't have better options. I am active, eat super healthy with perfect blood tests yet here I am. It is depressing. I have heard some that have had NO results from Tymlos and others that have gone from a -4.7 to a -3.4 so its a crap shoot!

Thanks for your reply! I am giving myself 1 year to see if I can increase my T-score. During that time, I am upping my calcium intake, adding weight training to my exercise routine and walking more. I am also exploring working with a Dietitian and a Doctor of Osteopathy.
Like you, my blood and urine tests were in the ‘normal’ range with no red flags. I have not had a fracture or ever broken a bone.
It is depressing - which we should acknowledge - but not let it rule our lives! Enjoy the summer!

According to my doctor, the research shows that a 12% increase in BMD of the lumbar spine is expected after 2 years on Tymlos, and it is similar or slightly less of an increase at the hips. (I started 9 months ago and haven't had a dexa since I started, so I won't know until next year.)
