Good evening @lindaflu .......Welcome to Connect. Thanks for joining in August and especially for posting a comment about your osteoporosis medication. First of all, I am also on Fosomax (Alendronate) now after two years of Tymlos daily injections and a brief follow-up attempt with Prolia.
It did not work for me at all. So while I could still transition, I replaced it with Alendronate, (Fosamax). It seems that dosages every six months just put too much medicine in my body and have too long a half life. I was beginning to have pretty severe jaw pain. Now, with a weekly tablet taken as directed and that is to sit still for 30 minutes without eating anything, I have no side effects. We'll see how well it has protected my bone density achievement with Tymlos in a few months.
What other choices are you considering?
May you be safe, protected and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
