Please be careful telling anyone how their body will react. You can say that their body should adjust but that is the limit of what you can say. Some might have the reaction continue to get worse. I am one whose body does not always react in the "standard" way.

I've been on Teriparatide since April2. Yes, I've noticed fatigue. Just had labs done, calcium and D look fine. D is somewhat lower than I expected. I was taking about 4000 IUs prior to Teriparatide. I cut it down to 3500 to 3100. Sounds like alot, right? Hidden D is in so much. Multivitamins and other supps. I had to look at everything I was taking and make a list to know what the totals were for Calcium, Magnesium and D. Aside from those I was taking D3 400IUs 2x a day. I cut out one and the leg cramps came back. That being said I've had terrible malabsorption issues for years now, so maybe even tho taking a higher dose, alot might be passing through.
I have not so far, experienced any problem with low BP. Nausea has been somewhat problematic. I've suffered with it for years for other health reasons but it has increased since I began this therapy.
Eveyrone is different, it's best to get your labs done more frequently I think, when in the first year of something like this. Know the symptoms to look for for Hypercalcemia and anything else that might be a factor. Keep a diary.

Thanks @normahorn for your comments and perspective. Definitely will be more mindful with word choices in the future.
