Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

Good evening @cloud80. (like that name).
I'll get right to it. I don't know how to answer your question about my preference for Tymlos over Forteo. Since I never did use Foreteo, I wouldn't be able to know how it would be different. I am pleased with my body's response to Tymlos.
And then....I am currently taking a tablet of Alendronate every Monday morning. I have had no side effects. I use precautions like sitting up for 30 minutes afterward and not taking any other meds or food for a while. This is a way to protect the new and old bone without having a twice-a-year injection that was way too much for my body.
Thanks for your response. And.....welcome to Connect. I see that you just joined. This is a
great forum to learn about your condition and your treatment options by sharing experiences with other members.
It's now bedtime I think. Good night.
Chris

Yes I meant to write Tymlos. I can’t remember if you are the person who did the patch or you did self injections. I might have to choose between Tymlos or Forteo. I think Tymlos is better quality outcome for most than forteo with less side effects.
Tymlos will be having an fda approved patch that I am thinking I might want on a year or two. Have you had any teeth or jaw problems from Tymlos or from Alendronate. Did you try the twice a year injections. I can’t do those in case of bad reactions.
