@osteopatient2026 Sending you my best today. 🌺 I’ve read here that women do experience success and relief by titrating down if the side effects become too uncomfortable, as well as starting at a low dose and titrating up as side effects are better tolerated.

It just makes perfect sense to me to give those parathyroid glands a gentle nudge by starting low and moving up as your body adjusts.

Why put the meds in a titrating pen if we can’t do that?

Personally, I think there’d be a higher rate of success if we were able to maintain control over the dosage, so long as we commit to getting to the 80 mg dose for optimum results. We all WANT the medicine to work, for heaven’s sake, right?

If no study has been done on titration, I’d honestly wonder why (though we’re smart cookies. We know why.)

@beachesanddreams, I'd bet they'd change the pen if they ever found out patients are titrating.

Makes sense…our bodies get smart at being fooled into building and cleaning bone via the thyroid…kind of like coffee…the first cup you ever have is a real jolt if it’s strong…then routine after that.

@beachesanddreams I couldn't tolerate the 80mg dose. I cut back to 60mg after the first 6 months, and an now nearing the end of the 2 year limit. I'm February we'll see if it was effective. I pray I haven't silently been losing none mass for 2 years! Of course, the options are limited.
