Evidence that Tymlos increases cortisol levels.

Posted by lightlifts @lightlifts, 11 hours ago

Does anyone have evidence that Tymlos increases cortisol levels? I'm looking for an explanation for my bloated belly and increased irritability.
When I switched to injecting in my thighs the stomach fat reduced..but if it was from high cortisol I don't think that would make a difference I switched back to the stomach because I had heard that absorption is better in the stomach and my MD said that was ok for me to do. Now Im switching back to the thighs! Of course if high cortisol is a side effect not much I can do because there's no other osteoporosis drug I can take that agrees with me. I'm opposed to Prolia and am hoping another drug is found when my treatment is over so I don't have to do the Reclast. The Reclast concerns me as I have an autoimmune disease( thyroid) and it appears that people with autoimmune issues have more problems with the infusion. Thanks for any responses. BTW I practice chi gong, meditation, bike ride, walk and do resistance training all of which are reccomended for high cortisol.😐

lightlifts, interesting. The older literature indicates that the pth drug teriparatide has a direct effect on the adrenal gland. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00198-010-1222-5 Cortisol was thought to have a gradual rise over 6 to 12 months I haven't seen studies with abaloparatide. And nothing recent with teriparatide. So I wonder if the speculation remains unproven or have been disproven.
The belly effect might be from increased calcium levels, which could also be causing irritability.
I've read that the thigh has a lower level of vascular activity than the stomach and allows for slower absorption, but that both areas provide 98 to 99% absorption. I share your views on Prolia and Reclast. You have a really good range with your workout.
I'm watching your post for answers.
