@cathyf31 I am about to start Tymlos and I'm curious about all the side effects everyone talks about. What are they? Especially the "rough" ones? My doctor completely downplays them as nothing to worry about.

@shellinaya I also would recommend that you not actually worry about them. The common ones tend to be headache, nausea, dizziness, and injection site reactions. You can Google to get the full list of potential ones; just make sure you're going to a reputable site. If you do run into any side effects that you cannot live with, I hope your provider is willing to let you reduce the dosage. I had to reduce down to half a dose (4 out of the 8 clicks) and am slowly going to titrate back up to a full dose. I just jumped up another click (now 5 clicks at 50 mcg) last night. Hoping my body will settle down again, as I was evidently not sly enough to slip the increase quietly by and it did heighten some of my side effects. Trusting all will settle down and my body will once again adjust. It's too important not to do everything possible to stay on this med. Best wishes!
