Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

I have been on Tymlos for 4 months and it's been comfortable so far - the injections are something you get used to, and I have been fortunate to have no side effects. However, I'm planning to go on an international trip in January and I'm worried about traveling with Tymlos. I will need to start a new pen before I return home, but won't be able to keep it refrigerated during the 10 days before I start using it. I'm also concerned about getting through airport security with the medication and needles, and I don't want it to go through the Xray machine. What information does my doctor's note need to include? Has anyone else got experience with tips on how to successfully navigate this? Thanks in advance.

I used Forteo and refrigeration was required. I thought a benefit of Tymlos was that being kept cold was not required?? You should double-check this.
