Hi, @charlotteclaire
It's interesting to me to see you mention that your feet have gotten swollen too since taking Tymlos. Mine have been but I have not been able to find anyone at the pharmacy to say that is a side effect. Many people do speak of the belly, referring to it as "puffy belly". I mentioned that to the pharmacist and he said he had not heard of that but there is a side effect of "distended abdomen"! Really, he couldn't figure out that those things were the same?

A while ago I did stop Tymlos for a couple of weeks to see if the belly would get better, I am quite sure it is fluid retention. It did get substantially better but it would have needed more time to totally dissipate. Since I just wanted to confirm that Tymlos was the cause I didn't need to go further.

I do get mildly light-headed occasionally but I do not think in my case that Tymlos is the cause because I'm pretty sure that I was having that difficulty before starting Tymlos. I do get fatigued a bit more than prior to taking Tymlos but it hadn't occurred to me that Tymlos might be the cause of that. I have just attributed it to age.

I have been taking Tymlos since March of 2021 and intend to stop at the end of the year. I would just have a couple of months in 2023 and since the first month tends to be very costly with my deductible I will just skip what would be the last two months. My endocrinologist has said that's not a problem.
