Tymlos and facial hair growth

Hello Chris,
I have been injecting Tymlos daily for 3 months so far. My other side effects (headache, insomnia) are slowly diminishing. I noticed facial hair in the past month or so. I finished menopause over 10 years ago. I am also experiencing some head hair thinning but that may be seasonal. As of yet, I have not tried anything for the facial hair. I'm wondering if it's from the Tymlos, and if so, will it revert after my 18 months on it? Has anyone else reported facial hair growth?
Thanks,
sbt54

Good morning @sbt54. Thanks so much for continuing your discussion. First of all: Vaniqa is a topical medication for unwanted facial hair. Mine started when I was told to stop the hormone treatment (Estrogen) I was taking during menopause because of the concern for breast cancer. That was in 1996 I believe. I don't use Vaniqa anymore. You can go to a salon that does threading or use a small instrument that removes the hair. My life partner has one and lets me use it.

There is more information about the side effects of Tymlos at http://www.tymlos.com. I didn't observe any mention of facial hair growth. However, it might be best to discuss this concern with your doctor.

Let's also wait a bit to see if any other Connect member responds with a similar issue.
Have you had any other side effects that could be related to Tymlos?

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