Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Good afternoon @jocelynes, welcome to this amazing group of patients, caregivers, and mentors. We believe that knowledge is power, Sharing knowledge on Connect helps so many folks who are looking for assistance with understanding and treating medical conditions.

You asked about Forteo and Tymlos. Perhaps I can help with Tymlos. I did the daily injections for two years. I had no side effects after the first week or so when I was a little dismayed about how to manage the treatment process. I chose Tymlos over Forteo because I was traveling quite a bit at the time and I didn't want to deal with the refrigeration requirement.

At the end of two years.....my DEXA scan showed that in some areas my prior osteoporosis had declined to osteopenia. Other areas had stabilized.

Do you have any other specific inquiries? Just let me know.

May you be content and at ease.
Chris

Thank you Chris for your help. It does put my mind at peace to hear that others have used these medications. I also do travel quite a bit and was leaning towards Tymlos.
