@rhonnni1225 you can vary the time within reason, I think. If I was, say, 6 hours late I would do it 3 hours late the next day then back to normal, or something like that.

But if you are just two hours off I would think it would be fine. And I probably didn't need to do what I did- it was just what I did with other meds.

Tymlos doesn't build up in your system so varying the time should be fine. You can ask the pharmacist at your distributor if you want to hear from a professional!

@rhonni1225
I am fairly new to Tymlos, just on my second pen. I decided to take it at night, as my mornings are usually pretty busy. I inject right before bed. My bedtime varies by one to one and a half hours. I did not discuss exact time with my doc—good question!

In terms of side effects, for the first almost month, I experienced little to no side effects on full dose. Many nights I would briefly have the racing heart, and sometimes a little bit of light headedness. Like windyshores suggested, I tried to have something salty (I drank a bit of zero sugar Gatorade) shortly before injecting. Now I rarely experience any effects.

The injection itself becomes a none event. Once in a while it will sting a bit, but usually I don’t even feel it. It has become my joke that while the rest of the country is self injecting to lose weight and improve their appearance, I’m like an episode of “This Old House”—I have to put my money and effort (belly injections) into the unglamorous, sagging foundation!
