I am starting in my second month of daily shots of 80 and tolerating it. I had severe headaches the first ten days and then they dissipated and have had no issues since. There are many patients that tolerate a lower dose daily. You are pretty small for that large of a dose as I am 125 pounds. I had compound fractured ankle and fracture lines were not knitting together . I get X-rays in a month so am anxious to see if it is healing . I wonder if your dose was reduced It would have less side effects . At first the headaches were awful. Good luck

@franie your post is so important and helpful. You persisted for 10 days. These meds work with PTH hormones and it dose seem our bodies adjust, whether through (heroic) persistence like yours or temporarily going down and ramping up. I hope your post makes people feel less afraid when they DO have a side effect. Thank you for posting this!
