I haven't found any good physicians to take care of me - not sure there are any. Especially any that know anything about osteoporosis. I watched this you tube video last night that I thought was insightful. It was a discussion between a Doctor of Pharmacy and an orthopedic surgeon from Duke University regarding the role of calcium from food vs from supplements for osteoporosis. If you are interested, it might give you some helpful info.
I have serious trust issues with the accuracy and reliability of dexa scans, and refuse to take any of the osteoporosis meds after getting a major kidney stone from Tymlos. So much more research has to be done on this subject. These are just my own opinions.

@lylii All medications have possible side effects. Just because you had an issue doesn't mean the medication is bad. The overwhelming majority of Tymlos users do not have kidney stones. You were one of the unlucky ones, unfortunately. Did your doctor monitor your urine calcium during treatment? If he/she did, then you could have been alerted before a painful event.

P.S. I hope you are feeling better!
