Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

I started earlier than you! Actually I meant that I talked to Tymlos, not Radius and they were very interested.

I actually prefer giving the shot in the morning at this point. There was a small study on Forteo showing it was better to administer in the morning in terms of effectiveness, but people are doing well either way.

My side effects, like weakness or heart palps, seem to occur 10 hours after the shot. So morning works. Before, when I did it at night, I woke up with a headache and of course has an episode of afib too.

If I can only do 7, or even 6, I will still be happy because I was told even a half dose will help.

Okay tried 8 and it is too much..feel woozy, heart palps....7 is fine! Weird that one click makes so much difference. I needed to try so I can tell doc tomorrow. I am small so maybe 6-7 is enough. I'll let you know.

Since I retired and the sheep are gone (no morning chores) we do not rise as early as before but are you in a different time zone. It is just nice not to have to get up at 0400 and then drive 30 miles to work every day. But back to the matter at hand. I did not know there was a different place to call about Tymlos. I have only talked to Radius. So what do you call for just Tymlos? And would it do any good if more people on Tymlos had the same side effect call them? I think Radius is only interested in their assistance program. What do you think? My side effects occur within 10 minutes after the injection and the last two nights the injection side hurt but went away in 5 minutes. Keep me posted about your Dr appointment and how you proceed from here. Hope all is well with you and stay safe.KLH
