There is a Tymlos Assist program available. I'm still in the paperwork portion of it and will see what my cost are soon. My Doctor has given me monthly samples up to now. This will be my third month with no side effects so far.

How did you go? Did you get the assistance and the treatment? I hope so. If you finished the treatment, and are willing to share the results? If you already shared in another thread, please tell me where I can find the info. I'd love to know. Also, did you take any other osteoporosis drugs before Tymlos?

I wish I met the eligibility requirements for Radius Assist for Tymlos. One of the eligibility requirements is "Patient must have neither insurance coverage for nor access to other coverage for TYMLOS." My policy covers it, but only 40% of the cost. I can't pay 60% out of pocket. If my insurance provider did NOT "cover" the drug, I would qualify to get it for free. It's truly baffling.
I'm looking into alternative assistance programs, because I really need this treatment. I had one Prolia shot, and stopped for three reasons. 1) Prolia rebound scares me. 2) I experienced side effects that I was not willing to live with. 3) It makes sense to use a bone builder first, and really do I need to build bone. My DEXA scores are L femoral neck, -3.2, and lumbar -3.7. From what I've read on this forum, if you can tolerate the side-effects of Tymlos, the gain in bone density can be significant. I really need to give it a shot (pun intended).
