Has anyone been using Tymlos?

My specialty pharmacy said Tymlos make bones more brittle. They had to by law read an explanation of the drug from the Tymlos company to me. I heard all anabolics and all bisphosphonates make the bones more brittle but less prone to fragility fractures. So if you have an accident and break a bone it can be harder to heal and some people say you may never heal.
Basically we can’t break a bone from an accident now.

I asked for the smallest needle size when ordering it and the pharmacy gave it to me.

Do you just increase one click per day?

Where is that on the website ?

You are doing two months of Tymlos and switching to evenity?

I did Tymlos for four months and switched to Evenity. With Tymlos, it was the cost factor.

I'm sure it's not. It was something the Tymlos nurse mentioned when I told her early on that I was hesitant about injecting into my stomach. FWIW-- I only tried my thigh twice. My stomach is easier, and I have (mostly) figured out how to make it not hurt.

Tymlos is expensive / I am doing it through my insurance and the other part manufacture savings program. I took me weeks to learn the way through the maze.

@cloud60 everyone is different. You may do just fine with Tymlos and therefore could go up one click a day. Others may benefit from a slower ramp up. I never got to the full 8 clicks (except for a few days) but that should be the goal and most end up doing full dose.

I have also been told that thighs are okay but since studies were done with stomach, many docs, nurses and pharmacists will say tummy only. I stuck to tummy, at least 2" from the navel. I know from my kid's type 1 diabetes/insulin shots that absorption is best in the tummy.

@susanfalcon52 no sure this applied for you.....For those 65 and over, Radius Assist can provide free Tymlos if you meet income guidelines. They have changed how they provide this info. I had a personal rep at Together with Tymlos who guided me and now it seems you go on the Radius website to find the paperwork to apply for aid.

I hear you I was devastated in February with -4.7 lumbar and I am 60. I have slowly come out of the shock and first started bisphosphonates that didn’t work bc they bothered my stomach and now on Tymlos. I hope it goes well for us all. One thing I am learning is the more agile things you do the better. You will find your path - we all are.
