Good evening @autumnannam. Welcome to Connect. I am glad to make your acquaintance even though it would be nice to see you in person. I can assure you that my two years on Tymlos was beneficial for my osteoporosis and I never had any side effect nor did I experience any pain or discomfort. If you would like to talk with the folks who manufacture Tymlos. There are medical professionals available to help you with questions or worries.
I am in Rochester now for my balance and stability exercises also to help with bone health. Here is the Tymlos phone number for "Together with Tymlos" to see if you qualify for financial assistance. 866 896-5674.
https://www.tymlos.com is the current website.
"Medical News" also published a pretty thorough article on Tymlos at
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/tymlos#about.
It includes clinical study results and other helpful information.
When you say that your osteoporosis is severe.......what exactly does that mean?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
May you
