Samantha88, I know of one person from Connect, windyshores. who could not tolerate Forteo, but tolerated Tymlos by starting a low dose and gradually reaching 7 clicks. She wasn't able to tolerate the full dose of Tymlos.
She also got her doctors to approve a 1mg dose of Reclast instead of the 5 mg to see how she would react to it.
There was a study of teriparatide every other day. It took four years though to reach the equivalent of 2 years of everyday use. Teriparatide can slow upper gastric motility.
Having nausea that many hours of the day seems impossible to bear.
I wonder if your rheumatologist might be able to secure a sample Tymlos pen. So you could trial it before disturbing your prescription setup. You deserve some luck

Thank you @gently for your thoughts. I wonder what @windyshores symptoms were. I like your suggestion of seeing if my doctor can provide a Tymlos sample. Not sure if they would be willing to do that but it’s worth an ask!
