Posted by ldj1002 @ldj1002, Dec 22, 2023

I’m 57 with newly diagnosed borderline severe osteoporosis.
Dr is strongly recommending Tymlos.
I’ve Read up on some of side effects.
Is it best to take at night incase of headaches/ dizziness?
Thanks!

Very, very helpful information. Thank you. I ordered the recommended book, and it should be arriving today. I'll also check out those videos. I inquired about Tymlos which my Dr. also mentioned. I would go in monthly for 6 months. He said afterwards I would need to go on another medication as if that isn't the case with Prolia. Sure hoping I get some clarification with reading the book and watching the videos. If only I could take my Dr.'s recommendation and go with that. Thanks again.

@saab Tymlos is a daily injection done at home. Tymlos, Forteo, Evenity and Prolia all require follow-up with a bisphosphonate but the rebound risk is much greater with Prolia.

I am on Forteo the original version of Tymlos. I wasn't able to tolerate Tymlos. Since being on Forteo caused headaches also I switched the time of day for my injections. I switched from mid day to the first thing in the morning. The headaches miraculously went away. Best of luck and Forteo is an alternative to Tymols if you can't tolerate.
