So appreciate your honest feedback I will definitely take to my team about nausea meds and slowly titrating up with dosage. I am supposed to have a video chat with nurse next week before starting meds. This forum has given me the right questions to ask thanks so much!!

I know you asked for the more long time Tymlos users to respond, but I will give my two cents worth a little early! It took awhile for me to receive the med and all the supplies (pharmacy error). So, I had a long time to get used to the idea of having to take a med, and also a long time to stew about it. Now, I have only had three doses (full 8 clicks). And some people have reported being fine at first, then developing side effects even months in. But I have to say, so far so good! I inject at night right before bed. Shortly before, I have been drinking about 1/2 cup of zero sugar Gatorade, for the potassium and/or eating something a bit salty, as windyshores says she does (she says she eats something a bit salty)

The first day after, I felt a bit light headed, and a bit nauseous . Nothing debilitating. A bit tired. These symptoms are now greatly reduced. I have to say that I do not have much of an appetite, and feel a little nauseous after eating —but there are some very stressful things happening in my life right now that are probably more to blame than side effects.
Doing the actual shot is really not a big thing once you have done it once.
I pray you have an easy and successful time with Tymlos!
