@cathyf31 just take your time with tymlos. I did a dexa with TBS, Did a Dexa with TBS 1 years on Tymlos, then did another Dexa with TBS 6mth later when I stop. (out of pocket cost 90$) but I wanted facts, also wanted benchmark before started fosamax.
Last 6mths growth in femur as predicted per chart on tymlos website. my endo and functional medicine doctor where impressed with my results. I also, added designs for health collagen daily to my am coffee. I stopped all oxalate foods, managed my calcium with foods, and took vitd with k. Definitely keep an eye on your calcium with blood tests. I had to cut back because of tymlos. speak with your dr. about this (Hypercalcemia). I stayed on top of all blood work! Dr.s are overwhelmed, with limited time with patients, so I spent time managing myself and reporting back to endo.

@vixstermoves Thank you. Yes, my endo is constantly in communication and is on top of both blood & urine labs. My firts, since stsrting Tymlos is Monday. Trusting all will be ok. Sure enjoyed lower leg and ankle swelling being back to normal this AM. Trusting other side effects will follow. I spoke to a Tim Los clinical educator for 70 minutes yesterday. She provided the number and who my provider can speak to to get more insight into the reduced dosing. I'm simply caught in a position, where my provider had never heard of reducing the dose itself. I believe she is open and will follow through quickly, with learning more. I have also shared several of this forms posts with her. Trusting she will extend my trial on a reduced dose at 40 mcg/4 clicks, beyond the original stated one week trial period.
