Hi Chris, did you initially treat with the the BPs every 6 months and then move to the Tymlos? I am wondering about your course of treatment.
Thank you for your post.

Ahhh....there you are. I want to make sure I read your question correctly. At first, I had no endocrinologist and my PCP started me on Bonvia, a bisphosphonate with monthly injections. I knew nothing about side effects and so did not realize that I was struggling with the monthly injections and their half-life.

After three months of increasing pain in my joints and jaws, I cried out for help and was introduced to Forteo and Tymlos. I chose Tymlos because of the cost and the refrig issues.

Anything else? Happy Thanksgiving.

Chris
