Tymlos side effects I've encountered

@ddpetaluma, I have the same problem with Forteo. I get up 3 times a night and can't sleep after the third time. I am not getting any quality sleep. My PA Endo said that the medication can do this, and she suggested taking it during the day. I tried taking it after dinner. This helped for a few days, then didn't. Another endocrinologist suggested drinking salt water before bed. That helped for a few days, then stopped. I have hypercalciuria and I think that too much calcium may be causing so much urination. I also have made an effort to drink enough water during the day, to safe guard from kidney stones and keep my blood pressure normal. The last NP Endo thought I might have a urinary track infection, but my urine is clear.

@drsuefowler ...yes, I have had 4 different urine tests and my urine is clear. I am seeing my endo today and we will see what she says. Have you tried taking a dose lower than 80mcg? I will talk to my endo today about lowering dose and let you know the results in a couple of weeks.

I am so sorry you are going through this. It is awful!

I, too, suspect the calcium. Interesting about the salt helping with retention. I'd want a urine calcium for hypercalciuria, which can be problematic.
