One year ago, my doctor prescribed Tymlos daily injections. I have been very resistant to taking any drugs because of side effects, but my T scores were so low, I finally decided to try it.
I was on Tymlos for ten days before I had to call it quits. The side effects were just unbearable; I felt like I had the flu every single day.
Here is the outrageous part: I had to pay $1900 up front, which supposedly was the actual cost for six months of the drug, but they made me pay for it when I began the drug. Because I had to quit after only ten days, there was no recouping the money. Essentially, I paid for six month of Tymlos and was only on it for ten days. What a racket. I wish I would have known how I would react to the drug.
I am currently on Evenity; the side effects are not as bad but some are still with me every day, like fatigue. I will give it six months to see how I tolerate it and then decide what to do.
I have been a walker and exerciser my entire life, beginning in grade school. In my case, I believe, because my Mom had it, that it was more hereditary. I have five sisters and none of them have it yet, and we are all in our sixties and seventies. I drew the short straw, I guess.
