@beckymel I feel negligent because it has somehow escaped me that my levothyroxine could be contributing to my osteoporosis as could the omeprazole that I took for several years. I am also on prednisone which is a major cause of osteoporosis so I attributed it to that.

I started doing Tymlos injections a couple of weeks ago because my osteoporosis has gotten quite advanced. Unfortunately, there is no drug for osteoporosis without side effects, but I think that's true of all drugs. From what I have heard the percentage of people on drugs for osteoporosis who have serious side-effects are in a small minority.

I guess we all just have to forge ahead with hopes we will not be a part of that small minority with serious side-effects.

Hi JK,
I am on Omeprezole and Prednisone. I also have been told that I need to take Tymlos. Can I ask how the Tymlos treatment is going for you? I'm a little nervous about the side effects. Did you have any? If so how long? Any suggestions for me would be appreciated. I understand that it is a new drug and there isn't a lot of people who take it so your response is valuable. I also understand that everyone is different with different medications and conditions.
