I should like some feedback from others using Tymlos. Interestingly , as I had considerable side effects from the oral meds in the America’s category and had to cease taking, I am not having side effects so far from Tymlos after injecting once daily for less now than a month. What about others on Tymlos?

Forteo was first drug prescribed for me, but was not part of my prescription drug formulary and would have been $700 per month. As it was the drug of choice rom my doctor, I am wondering about reactions people on Forteo have experienced and also about the relative merits of each of the 2 drugs. My rheumatologist indicates that a generic of Forteo is ready and will be out there as soon as the brand name patent runs out, I don’t think he would change me over midstream, but m not sure.

I have 2 compression fractures in my spine...doc prescribed forteo but insurance will not cover it...so tymlos is the one supposedly. I'm very concerned about the side effects of these drugs....does anyone have and experience with side effects? I took Actonel...1 pill...and wound up with ulcers...that's why I'm worred about taking anything...but I have to do something!
