Linda, did they give you a 'timeline' as to when it's supposed to 'kick in' and show the most improvement? I'm only 7 months on Tymlos and am asking about a shift to Forteo due to the neuropathy...but they just did labs on me and said it may not be causally linked...so I'm just trying to 'stay the course' as long as I can as my values were so lousy before any improvement would be a 'must' according to them... just figuring if it's a Forteo vs Tymlos call. Have you had any side effects or neuropathy/tingling/cramping in toes and such?

Elizabeth,
I don’t recall receiving any info about a timeline from a Dr. I do think that on this forum it was suggested that the most gain occurs within the first year. I have had challenges with cramping in my feet & calves for many years so that’s not due to Forteo in my case! I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing that problem. I hope that you’ll be able to stay the course for as long as possible. Take care
