I am on Tymlos and have done well. Forteo is a similar drug. These are "anabolic" drugs. Research has shown that starting with an anabolic is most effective. Most people do well with them. Some have issues.

After two years on these bone-building drugs, you have to either take a biphosphonate to lock in the gains, or you need another bone-builder like Evenity or Prolia if you still need more bone density. This is where it gets tricky.

janiskir, Forteo is safe. Plus it build the best. most resilient, most integrated bone. It's often prescribed for osteonecrosis or atypical fractures caused by the other drugs. It is prescribed sometimes before dental work and before spinal surgeries because it integrates the hardware.
I've heard of only one person who had an allergic reaction.
My experience with two years of Forteo has been free of any negativity.

that is exactly how I feel.

and when I said to my ex-sister in law, who does Reclast, that it doesn't sound as bad as Evenity which my doctor was pushing, she said "they all suck."

it really is inexcusable that medicine can't be more aggressive in finding some non-harmful drugs for this large contingent of women. It's like medicine and our doctors believe the problem is "solved." So our jaws will rot and our thighs spontaneously fracture, we have to accept that "all drugs have side effects."

It makes me mad.

I have been on Prolia for 15 years and had to STOP-NECROSIS OF THE JAW! Be careful..having your jaw chesiled out from dead bone protruding from your gums is awful.
