@cathyf31 Hello, I just finished Tymlos. 1.5 years. I had very good results. This is how I started. 2 weeks at 2 clicks, 2 weeks at 4 clicks, 3 weeks at 6 clicks, then full on 8 clicks (my Endo had no issue with this method). I don't think this affected my outcome at all. I did the injection at bed time. It was NO joy. For the first 20 mins, I felt the heart palpitations and the uneasiness of it all. During the day, for the first 7 months felt random stings of weird pain , or muscle weakness. But, I had no choice. My Dexa with TBS was not great. (spine -4.4). Ultimately, I had over 20% increase in the spine. I also take Designs for Health Collagen, which has been part of studies to help. Good luck. I was determined to plow through it. Sometimes, it felt like my lower extremities were not part of my body. Meaning, when crossing the street my head and torso went, and my legs felt like they didn't get the message, and were delayed. Best as I can describe it.
On the Tymlos website is a graph of what to expect. I stopped at 1.5 years. The graph shows not significant growth afterwards. I just started foxsamax. Now I have to get use to a new drug.
I wish you the best of luck.
