Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

@naomikrst Tymlos and I believe Forteo have financial assistance programs. I got 18 months of Tymlos for free after filling out the paperwork. You can call Together with Tymlos or Radius about the assistance program.
The daily injections are no big deal, believe me.
I chose Tymlos because the dose is adjustable. I ramped up to get my body used to it and I have had excellent gains taking 7/8 of the full dose. The pen has "clicks" to measure dosing and 8 clicks is a full dose.
I wonder why they switched from Tymlos to Forteo. I would assume you can request what you want. The doc can then agree or not.

I'm not sure why she changed either, the nurse never explained why when she called. I know that I had voiced concerns about cancer showing from usage after a certain length of time and that was another reason I was hesitant but then after reading up on all the shots they all have that warning which is very scary to me. Thank you for responding.
