@victoria93 I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. It’s a lot, and I’m glad you found this forum. I only joined myself about a month ago, and it’s helped me tremendously.

There is so much good advice here, isn’t there? I, too, have to take an OP drug, and am on the cusp of starting something. I’m just waiting for my doc’s recommendation.

Tymlos comes in a pen form, and it allows you to adjust the dose down (with your doctor’s advice) should you experience side effects that may be present. Lots of women here have indicated that they’ve done this, and were able to stay at a slightly lower dose, with success. They saw their bone density improve.

The tip about toast with jam about 1/2 hour after injection is a really good one. I’ll have to keep that in mind myself. I also learned tonight that Tymlos is good about being in contact with us should we need them. That’s really good to know.

I do know with Tymlos, hydration is very important, as is being in a safe, comfortable place when you administer the injection.

I’m wishing you all the best in the weeks ahead, as I warmly welcome you here! We’re glad you joined. 😊
