Taking Tymlos but Forteo recommended

I have never had the new Tymlos because I took Forteo back in 2016-2018. What happened to me, (and everyone is different,) is that it wasn’t until after I stopped the drug that I realized how much vomiting it caused. (Forteo is taken daily for 2 years.) I was blinded so to say, because I had another condition at the same time that caused nausea and vomiting.
The nausea was bad enough to necessitate using Scopalamine patches. (Zofran helped but it wasn’t enough.) I had terrible skin breakdown from the Scopalamine no matter where I put it on my body - even my ankle. Towards the end of my treatment, I learned about using ginger chews. (Apparently it helps patients on chemotherapy.)
At my follow- up dexa scan I had 25% increase in BMD in hip, but 14% decrease in wrist. I called the manufacturer and asked how can this be? I was told that drugs can work differently in different body parts.

@maryconn, did your nausea and vomiting stop when you were done with Forteo? Did you have good results on your spine as well as your hips? It is disturbing that your wrist was worse. Did you take a follow up medication to lock in gains?
