@ahmeyers I chose Tymlos because the dose pen is adjustable so I could ramp up slowly. I never took the full dose (I am small) and still had excellent gains. It is otherwise very similar to Forteo.

The other reason was that I was told I could do Evenity after Tymlos but not the other way around. I will do a 20% test dose of Reclast to "lock in" gains after the other meds.

Osteoporosis does not have symptoms. We feel strong. I was doing sword tai chi for several months. I still fractured three lumbar vertebrae with one wrong movement. My Tymlos was delayed by COVID unfortunately. You do not want to be me, and have the pain and disability from fractures. Side effects of meds, if they happen, are, in my view, worth it. But the lack of symptoms from osteoporosis makes it hard to be motivated!
