@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..

@alexandercrps Fantastic!! Great to hear. Glad to hear you're tolerating the full dose at this point. Other people in this forum have reported incredible games, even with reduced doses. Best wishes as you continue. Hopefully, your doctor will be ordering P1NP and CTX tests throughout the treatment in order to calculate your P1NP:(CTX/1000) ratio, so you can follow your presumed ( > 150) anabolic state!! The actual bone growth is very slow, so they typically like to wait a year to see it appear on the dexobone scan. In the meantime though that ratio will help you see that you were hopefully building bone at a faster rate than your reabsorbing it. Best wishes!!
