Tymlos vs. Evenity

I do not have side effects with Tymlos. But b4 I inject each morning I drink a full glass of water with a pinch of mineral salt. Also I always move afterwards doing physical chores, or going for a walk. I do not think I wd feel good if I were to lay down. As for HRT-I chose that on my own to help combat any negative effects from Tymlos such as fatigue, wt. gain, etc. I also do weights and want to increase my chance of muscle building. When I look at my health history, ie: cancer and bone loss, these both occurred post estrogen loss so I decided to add that back in to help maintain and generally feel better. I take estradiol patch, progesterone pill at nite and testosterone cream. I will post any updates along my journey. I am hoping for any better alternative over bisphosphonates by the time I end Tymlos.

I am 55 and was diagnosed with severe Osteo at 51 after breaking a rib. I’ve broken 11 bones in the last 22 years. I’m
Pretty active year round with outdoor sports and a gym junkie. I was very shocked to get this news. I’ve been doing natural path care for 4 years. I’ve been able to get my bone turnover to a normal after it was extremely high, but I continue to lose bone density in my hip now at -2.5 and -2.7, lumbar got a tiny bit better now at -3.4. I’ve decided to start a med and am also debating between the two you mentioned. Any advice is welcome. I get another Dexa scan next month and hoping for better numbers. I also started using a vibrating pad for home workouts for a year now. Fingers crossed!

@ceccy good luck, thanks for sharing. I’ve had 4 vertebral fractures this in a year. Dr started me on Tymlos 2 months ago. I also have severe stenosis in my neck, affecting my arms. Have had so many dexamethasone injections. Already have fusion in next in ‘05.
The vertebrae above and below are deteriorating . I’m in constant pain. I’m praying the Tymlos works, side effects suck, but I push through. Just has injections in C456 today. Arm feels better. Warm wishes E

@osteoresearch I’m struggling with the side effects from Tymlos. I couldn’t possibly do anything after the injection. My brain goes into a spin, headache, and nausea.
It comes on within 3-10 minutes post injection. 2 months now. I wake up sometimes with the room spinning and a pounding head. I’m hoping things ease up soon. Warm wishes E

@eileenvan I get headaches too post injection. And some back pain as well

@taraneh64 It’s a brain fog that’s really bad. Within 3 - 10 minutes post injection. Lasts about an hour.
I already have back pain. (And neck pain from severe stenosis)
Warm regards
