Is neuropathy a Tymlos side effect?

Posted by tkdesign @tkdesign, May 3, 2025

I've just been on this drug a few weeks, but developed pins and needles in my arms and legs all over. I don't know if it's drug related...it comes and goes, but really uncomfortable. Anyone else experience this? It's not listed as a side effect. I do get the common nausea, dizziness, headache also but those subside after a while.

@tkdesign hi, I’m sorry this happened to you. Do you have any updates on your experience? My mom has been on tymlos for several months and just was discharged from the hospital with suspected mild GBS. Your case sounds very similar. She had 5 days of IVIG.

@cassie5111 I think i had an autoimmune reaction develop. I already am dealing with autoimmune problems from EBV and arachnoiditis, so my body is just wired to react to things. Unable to use steroids, so have struggled to find a way to combat this.

Was gbs ever confirmed with your situation?

I've been on Tymlos for 18 months and while I never had that side effect, I did find calling their patient help line helpful. I had weird right upper quadrant pain for a while & was never sure if it was because of the drug or starting Pilates about the same time & not breathing right. Luckily it was mild and subsided pretty quickly.

@seh801 was it like a stitch in your side? I'm having that and now I'm wondering if it's related.

@hdeff Yes, it was a similar feeling. It was mild, but something noticeable. I never did figure out if it was related or not. I reported it to my doctor & to the Tymlos help line, but since it was mild and occasional neither were concerned enough for me to stop Tymlos.
