Thoughts on Strontium?
I'm on month 11 of Tymlos and although I'm having some side effects that are manageable, I'm getting tired of being tired all the time. I started looking into strontium and now I'm very interested in anyone who has had success/experience with this supplement. How much per day? Does it interact with Tymlos or any other supplements for that matter? What is the best way to add it to your diet? I take a daily vitamin, fish oil, K2, D3 and magnesium. I eat enough calcium per day to not take an extra supplement, also exercise, walk, bike, weight training, yoga, pilates. No fractures. Last dexa score was -3.6 in the spine and in the -1s in hips. Based on the spine my endo said Tymlos was the cure all, be all. I am not due for another dexa until Jan 2025 and that will be a full year of Tymlos, so hoping it is doing something. Thanks one and all for your input!

Thank you! I have a lot more research to do based on some links I got from the inspire.com site. I agree that sometimes it seems we have more knowledge than the drs....but then again I'm never confident about what I read and whether it is unbiased.
Good luck to you as well!!
@psmnonna I have found this Mayo site to be more helpful than inspire, over several years, for many health issues. But it always helps to see different perspectives.
Doctors are important. It can be a long wait to get a good one and access is hard. But we need to find one who works well for us. None of us wants to know more than our doctors!
