I liked Tymlos! Side effects for two hours, dose flexible, excellent gains in DEXA. No fractures since 2021.

Hi! I’m just watching a video by Dr. Susan Ott that says it takes 3-5 years for the bone to completely mineralize after taking teriparatide. How long after starting Tymlos (which is similar) did it take before you saw improvement in your DEXA?

windyshores, you had uncomfortable side effects with Tymlos with a full dose early on. Were those effects limited to two hours. Now I'm curious if the terrible Forteo effects were in a two hour range. Would you say that the cessation of Forteo stopped the adverse effect within the 24 hour following.
You convinced (even) me about Tymlos' great benefit. I'm going to try a pen mid Forteo.
