Weight Gain on Tymlos

Posted by dmedaglio1 @dmedaglio1, 2 days ago

I am new here, so apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I started Tymlos on July 14. Since then, I have been gaining weight. I do exercise by running or walking nearly everyday as well as strength training at least two times a week. My diet has not changed. (I do indulge occasionally but not regularly.)Has anyone else experienced weight gain? I'm beyond frustrated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@gravity3 Tymlos is the first drug I have taken. The endocrinologist who prescribed it recommended reclast as a follow-up but I am not doing that. Once you start on those drugs you can’t stop without a rebound effect. I’m looking at other options.

Which drugs are "those"?
What is the treatment plan for maintaining the gains you may make on tymlos?
It is Prolia that has the rebound effect if not followed by another drug such as reclast.
Take care on your bone journey.

@lightlifts I can’t do bisphosphonates either. I have bone loss in my jaw already, enough that one implant fell out. But I am looking. There is a promising ultrasound treatment that hopefully will be approved fairly soon. Biosimilar hormones are protective but doctors don’t want to prescribe them if you are over 10 years from menopause. I have been reading about a mineral supplement called shilajit that is supposed to be effective-brand is Optimum. I am always a little skeptical; I want to look at the studies they cite. If I could afford it, I would go to Europe for a modified MRI treatment that apparently works for a year with no side effects.

The 10 year limit on hrt is old info.

Check out Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith videos on YouTube.

@gravity3 Hi-Thanks.
I believe all the bisphosphonates carry the risk of rebounding.

I am looking at a number of options, including biosimilar hormones.
