Tymlos side effects

Hello. I started Tymlos 2 weeks ago. I was pretty healthy and fit before that. In fact why I have 3 vertebra fractures compression and deterioration all the way up and down and extreme thinning in the hips is a bit of a mystery to everyone so far. I have experienced some of the usual side effects and sometimes think I'm trying out an experimental drug with potentially murderous side effects. But here is what I do know 100%: My spine will continue to deteriorate which will be quite painful and possibly put me in a wheelchair. Or 10%: I will get bone cancer from Tymlos. So my choice includes all the known discomforts, giving up my precious Pinot Noir, and just one more pain in the ass thing to do while traveling, but I think back on my Mother living on Tramadol like a drug addict, making excuses to get her fix early till thankfully at 94, the Covid did her in, and I feel I have to muscle through the next two years anyway I can. Naive or stupid, what's the verdict out there?

P.S. I'm going to post this in the Osteoporosis group too so I can get a bigger cross section of thrashing or support.

Hello,
I feel the same way about the drug and like you, I feel that I must do something about my osteoporosis and carry thru. I have been in TYMLOS for the past 5 months, I still have the side effects, which I hate but I keep reminding myself that a broken back would be much worst…one a positive note, two of my closest friends finished their treatment and they DID built bone and improved their scores! So I am hoping this jiving will be all worth it for me too, I wish you the best as well.
