Any pre-injection tips for Tymlos?

To everyone that has joined this thread I began in May - Thank you all so much!
I am about to finish my third month so I do not have any P1NP data to share yet but I wanted to say it is great to have this incredible community. I do not have any pre-injection advice and I am one of the very lucky ones that has no side effects from TYMLOS. Nothing. Ever the worrier, I called the company nurse line and asked if this was a sign the medicine wasn't working. She said there was no data to support this correlation, but there are a percentage of people who have no benefit from the medicine. I hadn't really processed that when I started but it makes sense. There is no panacea for any condition. Has anyone out there not had benefit from TYMLOS? I am just hoping for 10% improvement in spine to get me out of OP range. I guess I will learn more soon enough. One thing I will pass on is to be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked often. The ideal range is 30-50. Mine was 50 in May, so I stopped the 2000 IU daily supplement and retested in August and it had dropped to 29. I learned I am someone despite summer sun, will always need a supplement. I will now get D checked every 3 months to be sure I keep optimal levels. **It's important to know your body and what you need and then advocate for that to your medical team** I will share P1NP (August) and DEXA (September). Wishing everyone good health!

@esb13 hope to hear Tymlos is working well for you.

Just wanted to mention that I once read that Tymlos "eats D3." My level was 52 before starting. I actually went up to 3,000 units/day during Tymlos and my level stayed essentially the same . I basically tripled my intake.

When I stopped Tymlos, that level of D3 was causing my level to rise so I went back down.

Main message: I learned that I needed more D3 while on Tymlos!
