Has anyone been using Tymlos?

Hi, Elizabeth-- The guidance I got from my Dr--and from everyone on this site-- was to ramp up slowly. It seems to lessen the side effects for many people by letting your body get used to the drug. Many people on this site have also reported that they can tolerate, for example, a 6 but not a 7. A lot of us have been instructed to play around with the dosage to see what you can take on the theory that something is better than nothing. Who knows what the Dexa will show after all the fiddling. I'm sorry insurance is dictating your care. That's terrible, but it is the reality we live in. I hope you find a solution to your neuropathy.

gosh, thanks...I wish I would've known that it was adjustable going in as it WAS a big shock to the system...Definitely going to bring this up when I report the neuropathy...but most of all, hope all this is 'worth it' w/a Dexa at the end of all this off...Only other inquiry is I see people mentioning thigh vs abdomen alternatives and I was told that's only for Forteo not Tymlos...which needs to remain in the abdomen?

Good morning.
I am about to start tymlos. I have so many gut issues and pain in my stomach I worry about injecting there.
How long have you been on tymlos. Hope your dexa shows wonderful improvements. Can’t wait to hear.
Best wishes,
Candy
