Hi @rete. Would abaloparatide (Tymlos) be your first foray into medication for osteoporosis? Could you share what concerns you about it? If you have results from DEXA, TBS and bone markers that you're comfortable sharing, that would be helpful for this community to know so we can best guide you if you'd like. If you have a history of fractures or prohibitive comorbidities, that would also be helpful to know.
I completed one year of Tymlos with minimal side effects - some joint pain and fatigue. I also have an autoimmune disorder that contributed to the side effects I experienced. Overall, I think that Tymlos is pretty well-tolerated by the majority. The injections were very easy and completely pain-free for me. For reference, I completed one year of Evenity before Tymlos, and am now on Reclast. Your doctor should be able to tell you what your next step would be after Tymlos (or any other medication).
Best wishes to you moving forward!
