My endocrinologist at first recommended Reclast which I refused and now Tymlos which I’m still extremely concerned about. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have read nothing but horrible side effects from these medications. I cannot take the oral ones due to GERD. I don’t want to take any of them. I’ve no history of fractures and I am terrified of the long lasting side effects of pain and problems on top of my RA problems. I don’t know what to do. Anyone else choose not to take osteoporosis drugs and regret it later?

I think that you may get more response if you post this under Osteoporosis.

@mwendt54 Hello, I have two friends who have finished with the 2 year TYMLOS course and saw their scores increased which they tell me made it worthwhile in spite of the fear and discomfort in the beginning, I truly want to feel that way even though I am afraid and so uncomfortable when I take it, one of my friends had only one fall that broke her hip which was the point that helped her make up her mind about taking the treatment. I feel it is worth the try because a broken bone is not an alternative at all, oh but a what price! Sending you a big hug.
