I've been on statins for 18 months. I recently finished a two-year course of Tymlos. My bone density improved 18 percent, and my calcium blood tests were always normal. My LDL went from 135 to 70. So, no issues on either side.

@njx58 I am six months into Tymlos and really don't have any issues with it but I'm concerned about what comes next! Would you mind sharing what you are taking now to maintain your bone density gain? I am 64 and have a -3.4 t-score in my spine. No fractures (I exercise and run/walk daily and was shocked to find out I had such a low T-score). Even six months into Tymlos, I still think of going off of it just to avoid taking drugs for the next 20 years. Thanks!
