I start Ttmlos next week. Quite nervous right now. I hope this works for me. These chats really help. I was freaking out because I didn’t see much chat about Tymlos. Now I see it’s the newest on the market !

Good evening @ferrer1105
It sounds like you are ready to begin the Tymlos journey. I see that @wndyshores has responded to you about the "newest" bone-building medication being Evenity. Tymlos followed Forteo. I wish that the "click" apparatus had been available for the two years I was on Tymlos. Still, I had no side effects and the results were positive.
Please continue to be a "chat" member. I would like to know about your experience.
May you be safe, protected and free from inne and outer harm.

Hi and welcome. I just started my second month on Tymlos. I have had no side effects. I was nervous because many people seem to. However, I took the advice (after checking with my doctor) to start with 4 "clicks" for a few days....no side effects so I increased to 6 clicks for a few days.....no side effect........so I increased to the full dose and have had no side effects.
I am wishing you much progress and support on your journey.

@ferrer1105 Tymlos is not the newest on the market. Evenity is the newest.
I have been on Tymlos for almost two years. I have had excellent gains and went from severe osteoporosis on the DEXA to borderline. Tymlos builds quality bone and helps with healing, according to my docs.
I am sensitive to meds and started Tymlos at a lower dose and ramped up. The pen has "clicks" to measure out the dose. I did 6-7 clicks for a year and a half and have been doing 7 or 8 clicks now- mostly a full dose, finally.
With bone scores that were low and several spinal fractures, I was willing to endure side effects but it hasn't been too bad over time. I have found the side effects ease up so if you have some, try to keep going. I do it in the morning and try to get up and out because activity helps me with side effects. Everyone is different. I also hydrate.
