@bozley Stop reading about side effects. You're assuming (1) the side effects will be horrible and (2) you'll definitely get them.
The truth is that the majoriy of people have no or mild side effects. Plenty of people have posted on this forum that they took Tymlos and it was fine. Do you not believe them? Also, the *potential* side effects from Evenity are worse; that didn't bother you?
You can inject with "little" body fat. You can get the shorter 5mm needle if that helps. It's not a big deal, it becomes routine.
You know what's worse than possible side effects? A fracture in your spine or hip.
Please, make the sensible decision for yourself and at least try Tymlos.

@njx58 Thank you so much for talking some sense into me.
I guess I am still in shock with my "Severe Osteoporosis" diagnosis after being asymptomatic and since this was my first DEXA scan.
Also, the self-injections for 2 years sound daunting right now.

@njx58, we should look at every possible side effect of any medication we are considering.
There are very few places, like the eyelids, that don't have enough fat to accommodate the tiny Tymlos needle.
Tymlos can be an amazing medication for most, not all, though.
