@alidamc She’s talking about kyphosis or dowager’s hump which is closely related to osteoporosis. Often as your spine weakens from the osteoporosis, your posture is weakened and your shoulders/neck are misaligned. Your mother/grandmother may have been like that. Or…in my case, the women before me in my family were buxom…larger boned and heavy. My mom at 5’1” weighed 225-250. To carry around that kind of weight, she had strong bones. She never had any fractures.

Back to your hair loss (original concern for your post)…I would suggest trying to eat more protein. That is, protein in addition to calcium helps to build bone. Now that you’re taking Tymlos, your body is likely using as much calcium and protein you have available to build bone. In the process, your hair, skin and nails may be getting “robbed” of some of the protein they used to benefit from. Lots of foods are now available with extra protein (oatmeal, pasta, cereal, yogurt, etc.) or you can just get protein bars, drinks or protein powder that can be added to drinks/food.
