Great attitude. What will you do after Tymlos ? Live alone. Scared of so many side effects. Bad teeth. Believe to be at risk for MRONJ. Thoughts??

@ipg , I have pie-in-the-sky dreams of getting back to normal BMD in the next year of Tymlos, then trying to do no follow up drugs if I can maintain BMD with just exercise and nutrition. Since I was able to increase BMD with exercise and nutrition before the drug (at a slower rate), I am hoping to do the same after. I want to convince my Dr to follow up with Dexas every 6 months. If BMD starts to slip, then I will reconsider.
If circumstances force me into a drug, I lean toward an Evenity type (bone builder and saver combo). I haven't fully researched my drug choices yet, I'll start in a few months.
My mom had a jaw like Swiss cheese after Fosamax, so I really want to stay away from it...
