@loh, tymlos can cause hypercalcemia which can make you quite achy. Call your prescribing physician and ask for calcium testing. I would skip the injection for a day or two, without waiting to hear back from my physician. Some would caution you to wait for permission. The dosing is too high for some of us. Keep us posted.

Hi @gently, just wanted to give you the update...I spoke with my doctor and she wants me to stop Tymlos for a week and see if the aches go away. If they do, then it's the Tymlos and she wants to switch me to Forteo. If they don't, then she wants me to come in for testing (I'm guessing for calcium level). Either way, looks like I'm done after just short of 3 months. I'm going to push back to see if I can get calcium levels tested regardless. Thanks again for your help!

Thank you, this is super helpful! I wouldn't have known to ask about this. I've been waiting to hear back from my doctor, hopefully I'll hear back today and can ask this question. I looked up hypercalcemia and it said it can cause osteoporosis. What?? I'm taking this to help with that! Anyway, thank you so much!!
