Positive vibes ONLY thread

POV: I’m often left stressed and scared after reading this forum. It occurred to me that most of the people posting here have had bad experiences and wonder if people who have good experiences aren’t on a forum? I was listening to a podcast and the person casually threw out that she had OP and had a year of a certain medication NBD all good. She’s not a spokesperson for drugs and it was good to hear. If 75% of women have osteoporosis/penia surely there are good results out there? My PT, Dr and my endo were all like why are you so upset? You’ll be fine! But after I spend time here I’m faced with gloom and doom and feel awful. Hit me with your good stuff!

@gently Me too. I'm 58 and have a catastrophic spinal injury going on year 10, and the change in 4 days is INCREDIBLE!!! Have you heard this from others?

marghud58, the great part of getting relief from Tymlos is that it really is repairing not just bones but cartilage.
The medication also activates anti inflammatory pathways ( Gq and β-arrestin-1).
Tymlos is a synthetic part of a parathyroid hormone protein. As just that, it could give you energy.
Some commenters express missing the injection. It can become a celebration of yourself.
For some Tymlos is not so much fun.
We're lucky.

@monkhhi

I'm with you. At 77 though, what drives me is quality of life vs quantity of years left.

@nycmusic clarify— while I’ve heard that the meds really can/do help people strengthen bones, i also hear about troubling side effects, some of which stick around too long…so when someone says they get good results with little or no side effects—that’s good news i rarely hear.
