@cmbaczenski I'm very sorry you were not satisfied with Tymlos. Could you share your experience? Where the gains from 2 years of Tymlos not what was expected?

@tillymack, I, too, had a very bad experience with Tymlos and had to stop after 4 months. Beginning after the first shot, I experienced severe heart palpitations. My doctor encouraged me to keep at it, so I did. I subsequently started having very painful joints, significant hair loss, and the final straw which made my doctor make me stop--I could no longer walk without support because my legs were buckling. At the same time that I was on Tymlos, I had bad inflammations on my gum and a dental xray pointed to a tooth resorption. I had a dental x-ray just a year before and the tooth resorption was not detected. Not sure if Tymlos caused the gum inflammation and the tooth resorption or if it was just a coincidence. I have been off Tymlos since December and am not on any osteoporosis medication. All side effects are gone, except for the tooth resorption for which the only solution is extraction because of its severity. I am now on Onero, better diet, AlgaeCal Plus, magnesium glycinate, and protein shakes. By the way, while my November 2025 Dexa scan showed severe osteoporosis, a REMs scan in January 2026 showed very strong bones (I am very petite). Recent blood tests, including CTX, were within the normal range. For background, I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with osteoporosis after my breast cancer treatment. I was on alendronate for 5 years at a time three times (drug holidays in between).
