Please, Please, Please do not give up!!

I had no side effects, but I know everyone is different.

Six spinal fractures and two years of TYMLOS later, got my bones strong enough for a very precise, risky and complex spine surgery. Five weeks out and I'm doing well. I feel so much better and stand straight now.

I never thought I would have to go through this, but I had no choice. A delay would make it worse.

If you have already had a Laminectomy, you know spine surgery is rough and you would like to avoid it.
So please do the TYMLOS if you can, even the half dose is better than nothing and you may slowly be able to build up to a full dose. It will work out. I know some people take the shot then get light headed, vertigo or their blood pressure changes. I was afraid that might happen when I began so I took my shot at bedtime. I sat on the edge of the bed, took the shot, rolled over, pulled up the blankets and good night....so I never had any of those problems. That's really the only helpful hint I can give you other than to be strong and keep telling yourself "I can do this, I can do this" take a deep breath, relax and do it again tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day............
