Good advice, but I would like to point out that Forteo and Tymlos are NOT biophosphonates. They are the only drugs that build bone. I had some loss of appetite and nausea problems when I first started taking Tymlos, but that passed. It's a daily injection -- so if I'm not feeling well I can stop it for a couple of days. After a year on Tymlos, I just had my bone scan and the Tscores in my spine are all in the mormal range. I am doing lots of research now, because my MD recommends Reclast after I finish the Tymlos and I won'd do that, so I am looking deeper into nutrition. My diet is good now, but it's always possible to improve. Good luck.

My fear of bisphosphonates is doubled for Forteo and Tymlos. I'm glad you are happy taking these drugs. I will continue building bone using calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (mk4 mk7), and boron and grass-fed beef collagen. I can understand that feeling that you have to do something to get your bones back. I just prefer to use what naturally works in the body. Good luck to you Cireland. We are all on this same journey.
