Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

I was wondering when you are taking less than a full dosage, do you only use that pen for a month and throw the unused amount away or do you continue to use that pen until you have used an amount equal to 30 days full dosage? If you get to full dosage and still have problems will you just back down on clicks or give up on Tymlos? Also, are you on your own to increase, or are your docs instructing you on when to increase? I do not hear from mine unless I send a message. Sorry for all the questions. But I really want to try again and I need to call and ask if it is all right to start again but at what dosage. My docs have very few patients that are on Tymlos and I do not think they have ever tried starting at a partial dosage and working up. I would think that partial dosages for the two years would help in building bone back before changing to another drug. I would love all the feedback and opinions from others who have used Tymlos. Thanks to all for support and I hope you get to your goal soon. Stay connected as to how that turns out. Stay healthy and safe. KLH

I keep the pen I am using in the fridge. The only reason to have it out is that it is more uncomfortable to inject if cold. I will probably go past 30 days but by 5 days or so. If I cannot get to a full dosage,I will ask my doctor whether to do 1/2 dose or go on Evenity. That depends on your situation. I had three new osteoporotic fractures in April and 3 old traumatic ones. My worst score is -3.9. I can't really fool around.
