Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I was on Tymlos for 2 years, did really well with it. When my endo told me I had to do the self injections, I said No Way. She assured me it was simple and it is. I HATE needles, but this I could do. Gained bone density, just got a little dizzy, so switched time of day. Went on prolia for a year, did not help. Then went on evenity. No side effects except for a very sore arm from the monthly shot.
I am going back to Tymlos soon. This has been the easiest and best treatment for me. We are all different and have to do what’s best for each one of us.
Good Luck

Good evening @ssapp1, Thanks for explaining how you handled the needles. I also found it easy, breezy. I am glad your bone density improved. And now I have a question. If I understood your post correctly, you have done the following.
Tymlos 2yrs building bone
Prolia 1 yr protecting bone
Evenity 1 yr building and protecting bone
And now you plan to go back to Tymlos. Will that be for another two years? How do you plan to protect the bone you have created as Tymlos does not present that element? Has something been added to one of these medications?

Thanks for participating in the Osteoporosis group. It is very important to understand what members have chosen and what they have encountered.

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
