@cathyf31 just take your time with tymlos. I did a dexa with TBS, Did a Dexa with TBS 1 years on Tymlos, then did another Dexa with TBS 6mth later when I stop. (out of pocket cost 90$) but I wanted facts, also wanted benchmark before started fosamax.
Last 6mths growth in femur as predicted per chart on tymlos website. my endo and functional medicine doctor where impressed with my results. I also, added designs for health collagen daily to my am coffee. I stopped all oxalate foods, managed my calcium with foods, and took vitd with k. Definitely keep an eye on your calcium with blood tests. I had to cut back because of tymlos. speak with your dr. about this (Hypercalcemia). I stayed on top of all blood work! Dr.s are overwhelmed, with limited time with patients, so I spent time managing myself and reporting back to endo.
