@jeanneh, I am currently on a half dose of Tymlos and a Menostar bioidentical estrogen patch. I am 20 years past menopause. I have only been on the patch for 6 weeks and am having acid reflux issues. I have had a hysterectomy, but still have my ovaries and cervix. My functional physician wants me to take bioidentical progesterone as well, but I have had trouble adjusting to that. I had terrible constipation with the cream and capsule. I plan to try a half dose of the half dose capsule as soon as my reflux quiets down. My plan is to take the low dose of Tymlos and BHRT for a while, then just stay on the hormones. I am so sensitive to medications! I am even having trouble with HRT! The first functional physician insists on progesterone, even though I don't have a uterus. I just had a second opinion from another functional physician. She also thinks it's important to have the hormones balanced.
@jeanneh, did your physician mention whether adding HRT to Forteo or Tymlos therapy would provide any additional bone benefits?
