Waiting after trip to begin Tymlos again
I have had four compression fractures in January and March which are healed. My spine T Score is -2.9. Had Kyphoplasty on 2 in March and SI injections in April. I still have pain which is due to weak muscles and through procedures.
I began Tymlos after Kyphoplasty having full clicks, half and then had to stop. Began again titrating working up to 4 clicks in three weeks and then stopped again due to procedure and becoming ill for two weeks.
I have had a month long trip in Europe planned before all happened and my question is should I begin titrating on my trip or wait until I get home? I worry about fracturing but don’t know if the titrating of 2 clicks and working up each week is going to protect me any and having side effects too while gone. Any advice is appreciated.

stress101 In a two year course of treatment it sounds as if you've had relatively few actual injections if you started in March and have been titrating down as well as stopping at times. In my understanding, it's not likely that the Tymlos you've had so far has had any significant impact on your bones, and that another month's worth probably isn't going to protect you as much as it might cause you side effects and problems. Curious what others think, but I'd lean toward waiting until the trip is over.

2 ReactionsThanks. My treatment didn’t begin until March after kyphoplasty. Took forever to get appointment with an endocrinologist. So only had three weeks of titrating to 4 and having to stop again. Your answer was my thinking but wasn’t sure in keeping on having to postpone. Dang side effects surely make it difficult.
