Probably the only people who don't think that Tymlos is a better drug than Forteo are me and anyone allergic to the preservative (phenol) that makes Tymlos easier to travel with. Tymlos is said to be less likely to cause hypercalcemia. And it builds a little more bone in the hips.
The 24hr urine is cautionary as is the serum pth. Are they ordering bone markers P1NP and CTX.
I'm glad you are determined to power through and hope it proves uneventful.
If you do encounter problems there's always Forteo.
Best wishes

@gently
Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice.
It’s good to know that Forteo is a decent alternative if I have a reaction to Tymlos.
I don’t have my lab test requisition on hand, but I’m having the labs done tomorrow, and hopefully the results will give me insight as to why my severe Osteoporosis has occurred.🙏🏽
