Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

I could not handle Forteo. I am doing Tymlos instead because the dose is adjustable. I started low and moved up. Fatigue is a side effect of these drugs, which work in a similar fashion, but it does get better.

How long have you been on Tymlos? How are you doing? My doctor has just prescribed Tymlos and I am trying to get feedback on it from actual patients.

Thank you windyshores! Fractured my humerus last summer...dont want to go thru something like that again...the doc said it was a fragility fracture even though I slammed hard on the concrete--tripped on buckled sidewalk. Osteoporosis showed in spine--dexa was -2.7 ...thankfully the others are osteopenia! Insurance did not approve Evenity...but did approve Forteo...was told about Eli-lily co-pay assistance card...amazing!!! My copay with insurance was going to be $2200 a month (yeah right)..with the copay assistance card...$4!!!! Such a blessing!!! How long did you try the Forteo?
