How long does it take for Tymlos side effects to subside?

Windyshores, you are an inspiration to us all. I spend so much mental energy thinking about this drug and administering it (sometimes I still bruise), that I need to hear that people are truly making gains on it. I give myself pep talks all the time: you made it 3 months; you can make it 3 months more. Continued good luck on your journey.

@lnl I have done more than 18 months! 20% gain in spine, from severe osteoporosis at -3.7 to borderline at -2.5 and so much stronger. Hip went from -3.3 to -2.9 but femur neck -4.1 to -3.6 so still a concern.
About food with Tymlos. I hydrate and eat something like crackers. Not a lot. In the beginning because my blood pressure is often low I would aim for something salty and drank a big glass of water, and then used my bp cuff. I relaxed with this over time!
If anyone is light headed or dizzy, it might be good to get a blood pressure cuff and maybe an oximeter that shows O2 and pulse. It is at least reassuring.
I lay down and put my feet up for months but I am still doing better getting up and moving!
