Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

@annevan @windyshores I am like both of you. I was going through life doing what I wanted to do until I started to realize that I had suffered some breaks over a three year period. First a wrist, then a collarbone, then a toe, then another bone in my foot. All except the last resulted from fairly serious impacts during sports or play but - still - I'd never broken parts of my body before, so all of these within a few years seemed very unusual. I knew I was at risk for osteoporosis due to family history and early onset menopause and I'd been watching my bone density for decades. I had another test in 2022 and sure enough, I'd entered the osteoporosis range. That woke me up to the fact that my recent broken bones are probably related to a loss of bone density. I have a good doctor, who patiently went through everything with me and as a result I just started taking Tymlos about a week ago. So far, it is ok. I don't like giving myself a shot everyday, but it's not painful and it will hopefully turn into part of my nightly routine given time. If there are others who are on Tymlos, especially close to the start of their course of treatment, I'd be happy to compare notes and/or commiserate as appropriate.
