Struggling with Tymlos medicine

Hi-
How do you get the dose down? I've been prescribed Tymlos for severe osteoporosis but was told there's no way to lower the dose. I'm chemically sensitive and small and thin at 94 pounds.

@curious6 the pen has "clicks," Eight clicks is a full dose. Just do tow, or four, to start and then move up. The doctors don't seem to know this type of thing (about the pens). My doc approves of this approach.

I’m in the same situation ..I’m 4’11 and weigh 104
Been using the full dose for 6 weeks then started having reaction …pain in feet and ankles as well as wrists
Dr said it isn’t from Tymlos ..I went off for 3 weeks
Then started again ….same pain ..
Don’t know how to decrease dose …dr said not possible
How do u do it?
