@kilh Why were you put on BP meds if your BP is low? That sounds very odd. My prior PCP wanted to put me on BP meds because my BP was running high at times but I chose not to. Now my BP is no longer high, but I have heard that Tymlos can cause your BP to be low so that may be why.
I have not yet totally decided what I will go on following Tymlos but I am favoring Reclast. I find it scary since it stays in your system for a year but the actual percentage of people with serious side effects is minute so I guess I will try it probably.

@contentandwell, @kilh has symptoms that have not been tied to Tymlos. As I have written, I take 7 out of 8 clicks Tymlos with no problems at all, but I started with two clicks and moved up.
Tymlos grows bone, so is a more effective drug is you have severe osteoporosis. Also, the bone-growing drugs are said to work better if taken first, so you might want to start with Tymlos. Then do Reclast.

Good morning, I am so clueless as to why they want my BP lower. Maybe next Thursday, I will have better knowledge.
Years ago (cannot remember when), I had two Reclast infusions. They were so easy, ran upstairs from work and half an hour later was back to work. I did not get to finish all five because my dental implants got in the way. You have to wait 5 months to have them finished and then wait 5 months to start again. So things were kind of put off and never went back. Years later I started Tymlos. And you know the rest. Due for my yearly Endo checkup and Dexa. I wished I knew what comes next. Guess I will just have to wait. Keep in touch and let me know what the future will hold. KLH
