Yes, Tymlos is definitely worth the fight for insurance approval. My doctor has a full Department that works on appeal letters. Due to failing to previous medications, I was approved on the appeal.

BTW - I also had a severe case of CRPS, following a botched total hip replacement & lumbar block, that transitioned into Central Sensitization Syndrome. I have been very sensitive and prone to side effects with these osteoporosis medications. The flexibility of Tymlos' adjustable dosing (off-label) is worth its weight in gold to mitigate side effects. My doctor, as well as some that are carrying on some research videos, clearly prefer the Tymlos as the drug of choice. Anyways, have your doc fight the fight and hopefully you will win the appeal. Good luck!! And yes, it sucks that you have to go through this and do this.

@cathyf31 thank you for your reply. I’m happy to announce that I finally got it approved and dispensed..I am on day 12
now. Trying to stay hydrated as I heard this helps side effects. So far so good though, I mostly feel a tad fatigued and dizzy bending. Other than that it seems to be going ok. I assume it takes a while for the medication to settle properly. The pharmacy said peak effects
are reached after ca 12 months of full dose. I feel comfy with the pen and the needle now;
also it is a tiny needle and I barely feel it, so I am ok with the daily stab in my tummy..
