Completed Tymlos, considering refusing Prolia

@vansks Wow, you did great! Congratulations! Did you tolerate the Tymlos well? My doctor wants me to take it; I’m having a cardiologist do a thorough examination of my heart prior to starting because of the palpitation side effect. But good for you, that is great news!
I, too, was reticent about starting Prolia. I only had one injection, but I tolerated it very well. The only thing I had was this weird, wonky feeling in my right elbow. It felt “loose,” so I just took it easy, and it went away in one day. I’d like to back on it instead of the Tymlos and build my bone naturally, to be honest, but my doctor is not cooperating me on that, which is troublesome.

@beachesanddreams I had a problem with headaches when I first started Tymlos. Every day I'd wake up with a bad one that got better as the day went along. I stayed on full dose shots, the headaches gradually improved, took weeks. I have problems with muscle aches and stiffness and nighttime leg cramps. I can't say Tymlos is causing that, I'll have to be off it for awhile and see if I improve. I never had palpitations.
I'm leery of Prolia because of the possible side effects and the risks in stopping it. I'd like to see if I can maintain my present scores without any more injections of any kind.
I'm surprised your Dr started you on Prolia without bone building drugs first. I hope you have a good and safe outcome in the treatment you decide on!

I am curious when you say build bone naturally. Has it been determined if your bone loss started in menopause as most womens does or was there another underlying cause?,
