Tymlos side effects I've encountered

I had an excruciating headache from taking it one time. So I am going to try again at a quarter of the dose with drs approval. You can adjust the dose of Tymlos unlike Forteo. It would be nice if they did some studies to see if one could get benefits at a lower dose, especially if one is a much lower body weight.

tkdesign,
My endocrinologist has prescribed Tymlos full dosage daily for 2 years. I do not think this is a wise choice for me. Firstly I weigh 90 lbs and do not have much space to give myself all of these shots. My rheumatologist halfed my dosage pf plaquenil because of my size.
Secondly, I am a triple hormone-sensitive breast cancer survivor, the association of clinical endocrinology does not recommend it because it can promote the growth of occult, disseminated BC cells and cause the BC to recur. and my endo. hasn't even consulted my oncologist. I was on hormone blocker Arimidex for 10 years to stop the cancer from coming back because I am at high risk for it coming back.
third, Herceptin damaged my heart, so I'm afraid Tymlos might make it worse.
