I felt the same way a few years ago when my doctor wanted me to start on Tymlos. My doctor gave me a sample pen that lasted for 1 month, while the prescription was submitted to my insurance company. My insurance company denied Tymlos, and I took that as a sign that I shouldn't take it. Looking back I was too stressed and unsure about taking Tymlos, so I think the sign was correct for me at that time. Fast forward to a few years later, I retired and decided to give Tymlos I try again because I knew I needed to do something for my bones, and being retired, had less daily work stress and more time to focus on myself and my health - Lo and behold, the same insurance company approved Tymlos. Again, I took that as a sign, and now after taking Tymlos for 1 and 1/2 years, my dexa scan numbers improved between 5 to 15%, and I will be starting on Prolia in a few weeks. Looking back, being unsure and stressed as I was, it was good for me not to take Tymlos at that time. Stress isn't good for us either. But now I'm calmer about the process of taking new drugs. (I do wonder if my bones would have been in even better shape if I started the Tymlos sooner than later, but water under the bridge now.)
I still do my thorough research, and had two opinions from endocrinologists regarding the Prolia.
So, all this to say, you are not alone. These decisions are challenging. Praying for peace of spirit for you and all of us. 😊🙏♥️
