Immediate and severe Tymlos side effects.
Has anyone else experienced immediate and severe side effects from Tymlos, with their first injection?
I had a first and last injection of Tymlos in my doctors office a few weeks ago. I received the injection, and then became very dizzy with vertigo as the room seemed to tilt, and my heart rate elevated. I didn’t panic as that was somewhat to be expected. However, then steadily increasing pain started in my abdomen, spread to my lower spine, and extended up my spine into my head. The pain increased in intensity, bordering on intolerable. Then there was the onset of a tension headache like a vice grip on my brain, and tingling, burning in my limbs. I could only lie down and moan at that point. After about 20 - 25 minutes, the pain slowly began to recede.
A immediate determination was made that Tymlos is not for me, and I must go back to Prolia.
I was preparing for my 5th injection of Prolia, and had been experiencing increased muscular pain/ ache/ weakness with each previous injection; with only a nominal DEXA scan change.
This is why my doctor prescribed Tymlos instead to build bone first, before going back on Prolia in the future. I’ve not been able to tolerate any other drugs for Osteoporosis such as Fosamax.

No, thank you! I stopped Tymlos, because I’m not interested in experiencing negative symptoms like I had with the first injection. It’s not normal, and I was also concerned about longterm challenges, that they aren’t even aware of. I’m too scared to inject myself again, after what I experienced.
