Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Cris, how long were you on Tymlos? In the reviews, I have read some have had side effects on Prolia similar to Tymlos? This makes me scared to try and go through what I have in the last 4 months. One of my best friends was put right on Prolia before anything else. Two injections later and no side effects. But in Sept. I have dental surgery so I have to wait 5 months to start on Prolia. Have any opinions on the subject? I am open to any comments. Thanks for your thoughts and reply.

Hi there…..I was on Tymlos for 2 years exactly. I understood that there end of 18 months was the best time for the transfer but I had not made up my mind about Prolia, even though it was my only choice because of severe reactions to Bonniva and the other options. I spent quite a bit of time talking to the medical professionals at Amgen, the manufacturer of Prolia about testing results across the board. Only 10% on average, had serious side effects. I was still worried that I would be in that 10%. The research department was helpful in pushing me over the edge. I also learned what to do if I had immediate side effects with Prolia.
If you would like to connect with Amgen….let me know and I will respond with the direct phone number.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
