My goodness...that is a lot of side effects! I was fortunate to have none other than the first injection being painful for a few minutes and the weight gain.
There are so many treatments available, is there something else you can try?
I had success with the TYMLOS, went to Reclast two weeks after my last TYMLOS injection and then to surgery two weeks after that. So far, so good.
I will have a DEXA SCAN in September and am keeping my fingers crossed!
Regarding your doctor being hesitant to approve a half dose, I have noticed several folks on this forum do that.
I also, was not able to order more than a one month supply at a time. I'm not sure if that was due to the expense, or a requirement of Medicare or my insurance.
I hope you can get past all the side effects or find a treatment that your body can tolerate better.
Keep me posted. Hoping something will work for you.

@gowalking Thank you. Tymlos is my last shot (literally & figuratively). If I fail this, Reclast is the only next step, due to my history and previously failed treatments. (Regarding the refills, I only meant that my health provider was initially sending in 3 refills at a time, but now only 1 at a time, based on my feedback on how I'm tolerating the side effects at the time of the needed refill). Best wishes to you, as well!!
