Thank you for your imput. I didn't take injection last night, no dizziness when I got up today, or any problem through the day. Think I'll stay off from it for a week and see what happens.

Good evening @charlotteclaire and welcome to this wonderful place where we all help each other. I see that @contentandwell is updating you with good feedback. I just want to mention one thing. The injection pen for your Tymlos......does it have multiple clicks that allow you to temper the amount you inject? I notice that @windyshores has made good use of that built-in capacity to taper down and then back up again as you are able to tolerate the effects of Tymlos.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

@charlotteclaire I don't know whether to say I hope that helps or that I hope it doesn't help! If it does make a difference I presume you will discontinue Tymlos and overall if you don't have intolerable side effects it is a good drug to be on.
If there is no difference then you can try to figure out what could be causing the dizziness and go from there, continuing with Tymlos injections of course.

For me, I think the morning light-headedness that I was experiencing a lot may have had to do with not getting enough sleep. I have incontinence problems and am up almost hourly through the night so that does disrupt my sleep. I have learned that if I stay in bed longer the extra time seems to make up for the disruptions.

I think that it's always important to talk to one's physician before changing the dose of a drug one is taking, yet alone discontinuing it for a week. As far as I know, Tymlos is a drug that that might be possible with and have no negative repercussions.

But someone on, say, Prolia could have significant adverse effects, or worse, by skipping even only a week.
