@jk. I was on Tymlos twice for about 4 months at a time but would have to stop due to having increased pain in my legs. I had tried Forteo a number of years ago but that was unsuccessful due to getting migraines. I became very ill from my only Reclast injection. Thus far, IV Boniva worked for awhile and Prolia have been my only successful interventions.I don’t know what the future will hold once I can’t take Prolia any longer, but I am having better DEXA scores. Yes, I also had no success with only natural supports when first diagnosed. I hope you can proceed now with your journey.

Thank you, @migizii I realize of course that all drugs have side-effects for some people but it seems as if all of the drugs for osteoporosis have way more than their share of problems. I hope Tymlos will be OK for me. I am just about to head upstairs for my second shot.

I had to reduce a statin because it caused terrible pains in my legs. I had no idea that was the cause, my husband thought I was exercising too much, but I mentioned to a friend that my legs were killing me and she immediately asked if I was on a statin! Sure enough, that was what caused it. The doctor switched me to a half dose of what I had been taking and it's tolerable now. I did some research and the drug I am on is one that is least apt to cause those problems.

I just really hope I don't have that problem from Tymlos, but time will tell.

I believe you can take Prolia for a long time.

I'm curious as to what natural supports you were taking and for how long?
