Tymlos year two
It's been said that Tymlos is far more effective in the first year than in the second. For me, at least, that is true. I gained around 15% bone density in the spine in the first year, which I was thrilled with. I just had my annual DEXA, and I gained another 5%. Significant, but less. I was mentally prepared to see something along those lines, so I was not disappointed at all.
When I began this journey, my spine was at -3.3 average. Now, it is -1.7. No complaints here! Note that I've also been getting plenty of proper exercise and nutrition.
Next week I will see my doctor about finishing up my current Tymlos pen and transitioning to Fosamax. I am looking forward to no more daily injections.

Have you any tips for making the injections/side effects easier?
@beachesanddreams I never had side effects, so I'm probably not a good person to ask.
Injections: the needle size can make a difference. I always used the 8mm length, but my wife, who is also on Tymlos, uses the 5mm.

1 ReactionThis is helpful, thank you! One more, if you don’t mind…did you inject in the abdomen or thigh?
I’m seeing a few folks have injected subcutaneously in the thigh.
Thanks so much!
