Tymlos side effects I've encountered

@gwpitt is it possible these are "growing pains." That was suggested to me. For me the pain was worse in those first 6 months when the growth was greatest.
Rather than stop, I would reduce the dose by one or two clicks, meaning over time I mostly did 6 or 7 clicks of the pen. I was amazed how much worse side effects were at the full 8 clicks so I did that only rarely. I still had 20% gain in my spine. Maybe you could try going down rather than stoppint?

Windshores:
That was a very astute point. When you look at the Tymlos literature provided by the company, bone mineral density increases 5.9% (in women) in the first 6 months. It increases to 8.2% after 1 year and 9.2% after 18 months. Although I am male, the data should be fairly close. Also, males seem to have more reported bone pain than females.
My symptoms seem to be slowly improving and I am attributing this to less bone growth and a flattening out of the curve. Reducing the dosage is also a great suggestion.
Thanks for your input.
Gswpitt.
