Greetings @lynncee and welcome to. Connect. Osteoporosis is a very busy area with lots of different posts, postures, and experiences. To start, I want to let you know that I completed two years on Tymlos with no side effects. My osteoporosis returned to being osteopenia in some areas and held its own in other areas.

One of the advantages of Tymlos is that you don't have to refrigerate it and you can titrate up by using the clicker on the pen.

Here is how you can find posts about Tymlos or osteoporosis issues. In the search bar at the top of this page.......enter "Tymlos" with the quotes. You will be taken to a quite long list of experiences and comments from other members.

Let me know if you run into a hurdle and need help. I also would like to address your itching. I have a neuropathic itch that just attacks me. It is a frequent battle with ER visits and panic attacks. My dermatologist brought back a new product from an international dermatology conference. It is called Dermeleve. You can find out more about it at http://www.dermeleve.com. It does not contain any steroids and works quite well. You will feel it take effect within minutes and then have itch relief for about 6 hours. Not an eliminator but it may make your nights better for sleeping. And at this point you do not need an Rx.....just order it on the website.

What are you currently using for your "itch".

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

@artscaping I'm new to this group. My DXA scan last week indicated my T-score was -3.7 in lumbar spine and -3.1 in the proximal femur. Not good. Haven't started treatment and my GP referred me to endo as she's not sure of how to advise on most appropriate medication.. Thinking of Tymlos. May I ask which areas you had gains in? I also am living with lymphocytic colitis which does not help matters any with its resultant weight loss and the malabsorption issues. Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much from your prompt response and information. I will definitely follow up with the information you sent. Our dermatologist gave me a sample of CereVe Itch Relief. Glad to hear you are doing well. Did you need to follow up with another course of treatment after Tymlos?

Hi Chris - I am starting Tymlos in a few months. I was on Prolia for 4 years and then last March I fractured my femur. Which can be a side effect of Prolia. Then went on Forteo (terepartide) for 6 months but unfortunately had to stop as my calcium and phosphorus went up drastically. Now onto Tymlos. I am confused as to everyone on these posts are talking about increasing the dose gradually but when I spoke to the pharmacist at specialty cvs pharmacy, was told they have no idea what I was talking about. There is only one dose. Can you please explain how the pen works. Thxs
