Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

Hi diva. I'm on Tymlos too, but it's because I have to have low back surgery. I've all ready explained the surgery in another post. I have to be on it for 2 years. I have to be on it 6 weeks before surgery and only have one week left. So the dang governor better open up to have elective surgery. I'm in pain. My surgeons assistant was going to meet with my surgeon to plan out my surgery, so I should be able to get in as soon as the elective surgeries are open. Take care and do you have any side effects from Tymlos? I do it at night now and that helps the side effects.

this is in reply to lilypaws,kdbones and Chris Trout. First good luck on your upcoming surgery.I am a small person under 90lbs so taking a normal dose of meds for me is almost impossible. Most doctors don't believe it when I get horrible side effects from most drugs.I had been told that small statue metabolizes differently.I did start Tymlos taking half of the normal dosage. I had severe nausea and heart palpitations but also pains in my upper stomach and chest.
I have a hyperactive thyroid that decreased my bone density 10% in a year and is not cured after almost 9 months.I came to a decision and told my Dr. I want to remove the thyroid and then try Tymlos again. Because in my mind how can it rebuild when the thyroid is destroying it.Her reasoning is to maintain where I am at. In the meantime I am doing gentle chair yoga to rebuild bones, and increasing my walking k2 d3, calcium and prunes.
