@loriesco you can adjust your dose of Tymlos yourself. As I wrote elsewhere I did tell my doctor and he now uses the ramping up method with other patients. I never achieved the full dose in my two years but did tolerate 7 clicks after awhile. I had excellent gains.

Doctors and pharmacists cannot always suggest things that weren't in a study. I would just go ahead and reduce to a half dose, or 3.4 dose and see what happens. Keep the pen refrigerated so it lasts!

Hi @windyshores! I am not sure about reducing. Not because I don't have "agency" but because I want to know to best GET THROUGH this! I think it should be either with my Dr. or with Radius (or both). But maybe you are right - just do what I want and see what the testing brings....
last night I had a "medium flare" of the Trigeminal Neuralgia an hour after 8 click dose. The other "less" clicks seemed to resolve. It was manageable with pain meds. This morning very minor annoyance. I am most concerned with energy levels. I want the pharmaceutical company to weigh in on the dosage per weight of the patient. Maybe they don't have that stat. I'm unsure what bone density numbers even mean with my bad experience of great numbers and bad bones in surgery. My PCM thinks I shouldn't be taking the DEXA at all. But, I think they will at least be able to see if there is a better number. How long do you think, from your observations, good numbers might show up? P.s. - this pen has been in 77 and under house temperature. I'm about just a week out from the 30 days and will dump it here on the 31st for the new pen. Want to start a schedule that is easy to remember! P,S, - I was keeping it in the fridge all the time and then I read that when. you start using it you should keep it unrefrigerated to keep it in range. So I keep it cool.... I also started getting a taste on the sides of my tongue with the 8 clicks. I read that is a side effect....
