By what percentage did your T-scores improve after a round of TYMLOS?
I am trying to decide whether to make the commitment to try TYMLOS. I have read reactions to the side effects and some saying their scores did increase in this support group.
I would like to ask those that took TYMLOS reply to this post with percentage increase or their improved T-score. Likewise, if you didn’t seen any change (or decrease), can you let me know that too?
I am thinking that if the majority saw high improvement then maybe the side effects are worth it!
Thank you!

Has anyone tried or had any success with AlgaeCal calcium & strontum? I am just starting them, and hoping it works.
After 12 months on Tymlos, I have had no increase in BMD at my spine or hip. I am so disappointed. I see my endocrinologist in 3 weeks so hopefully she can give me some guidance.
After 19 months on Tymlos, my spine density increased 18.5%, hip 7.1% and slight improvement in femoral neck.
@roseincalifornia Wait for your DEXA.
@salli They won't help a lot, and strontium actually shows false gains on a DEXA. Pills cannot fix osteoporosis.
@njx58 thank you so much, I have a feeling you are right. I have lower jaw problems, and can’t take the prescription medication, so I am searching for something. I am looking at HRT.
15% improvement in my spine after 18 months on Tymlos, 8% and 6% in my hips. I got another 10% on the spine and 3% and 4% on the hips on Evenity.
@roseincalifornia I was on forteo for 14 months. I exercised and was careful about my diet. I had no change in Dexa. I had terrible fatigue. Switched to Prolia. Fewer side effects for me. Hope this helps.
