Taking Tymlos but Forteo recommended

@susyt I hope you can get your Vitamin D3 up quickly. That is important with Tymlos. I once read that Tymlos "eats D3" so I upped mine to 3,000 units per day and my level stayed stable at 52. Once I finished with Tymlos it started to rise too fast so I went back down to 1,000-2,000 a day.

If full dose is problematic it might be better to lower the dose than stop. My doctor agrees with this and is suggesting this to his patients. For me there was a huge difference between 70mcg and 80mcg, I never tolerated 80 but did okay with 70mcg- but only after backing down to a lower dose and moving up. If you have been on full dose for awhile you might not need to titrate but could just do to 60mcg for awhile.

That's really helpful, thanks. I think I will try cutting back 10mcg at a time, stopping at each level for a couple days or so.
My Vit D is at 29, so I am increasing the supplements!
Thanks!
