@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.

@ccduplass
Thank you for responding. I’m really terrified about these drugs especially due to the fact I have rheumatoid arthritis and from what I’ve read from others with RA they’ve experienced excruciating pain in addition to other undesirable side effects. I’m also concerned about if I were to have to have any dental extractions etc while taking this medication as it can cause necrosis of the jaw. I’m not even sure Medicare would cover the medication. It’s all so confusing. I don’t want to break any bones obviously, but at what cost (not cost of medication) but cost to health due to side effects. Both my endocrinologist and my rheumatologist just seem to push the drugs and discount and minimize the risks. I also had a heart attack in 2023 and had 5 stents placed. Too much to try to figure what’s safe and best. Thanks again for your comment.
