I bought lots of small circular bandaids which I put on after each injection. This marks the spot, so I’ll know where to inject the next day’s shot (and then put on a new bandaid. I make a row across, then start over. Better than marking myself with a pen!

P.S. I think it may make more sense to switch locations on your abdomen, alternating from left to right side of belly button, instead of injecting an inch or two from the previous injection site.

That is very clever and I will definitely do that if I need to go on Tymlos. I have another problem which I am agonizing about. I finished my Prolia 4 weeks ago. I’ve had issues in my mouth and they finally diagnosed me with an infected implant. The dentist wants me off everything and I am petrified of getting a fracture. My bone density was osteopenia with the exception of my forearms. I’ve read that after Prolia Tymlos is not effective and yet I don’t know what to do. Besides it being extremely expensive and maybe not effective I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place. I can’t go on anything for at least 3 months or until my jaw heals. I’m working out with weights and petrified all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions?. My dr said I should take the chance with Tymlos in a month being off Prolia for 2 months. The longer the better. I’m paying to have extra bone density’s to keep checking.
