Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

Hi, @sue225 several ago I had two years of Reclast. Then I needed a dental implant. So was told had to wait 5 months to have it and then 5 months before starting again. Had no side effects at all. But waiting to have the implant finished it was more than a year. Never started Reclast again. Then Endo Dr. switched me to Tymlos. I have been on it now off and on for a year. But the side effects were too much for once I got past 7 clicks. Did not use it for 3 weeks and then went to ER with afib and then did not return home for almost 3 months. Now I do not know where I stand but Bone scan is due again. Still trying to gain my strength back to normal life. It has been hard. What will I be put on again is the question? With Tymlos you can have dental work done and no waiting period like Reclast. We will see what the future holds. I did like Reclast. Let me know what you decide. Keep healthy. KLH

Its definitely a problem. Thats a lot of waiting with Reclast. And with my arrythmia (ventricular tachycardia) tymlos and forteo seem too risky.
The researchers need to come up with a better drug.

Just rereading your post. Somehow missed the part about 3 mos hospital stay! Glad you are on the mend and sorry this happened to you. These osteoporosis drugs are a problem
