Any pre-injection tips for Tymlos?

@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!

@windyshores
Did you continue to supplement calcium as well, while on Tymlos? If so, how did you time it in relationship to when you took the Tymlos?
I was ready to quote @windyshores, but if I wait , I find she is reliable out here offshore.
I haven't taken Tymlos, but have the same experience with Forteo. I find the tripling works, though I want my D at 70.
If you have a cuff, it's interesting to take blood pressure readings immediately after injection and following at least again after four hours.

WOW! That makes much so much sense - my level of 50 was from the week before I started treatment! Thank you so much for passing this important Vitamin D information along. It seems this would be one of the first things TYMLOS users should be told. I will continue to take 3000-5000 IU to be sure to keep my D in range.
I cannot thank you and everyone enough!
