I am doing a full dose of 8 now, for my last month or two. Side effects are more delayed, which is interesting.

I was told a large bolus was needed to trigger the parathyroid and it couldn't be split so your news is interesting. If valid, that could help people with side effects but for me it would have meant being sick twice a day, not once, at first!

I try to see side effects as a sign the drug is working 🙂

Wow that you are doing 8!!!
I just could never do that all at once. The headache and racing pulse is too hard.

The conversations and what a doctor thinks a patient means also plays a role. Your doctor might ( not likely) have thought you meant half a dose per day or something.

My doctor was completely against ramping up.
I will ask but according to my doctor’s approval my guess is that My dr will say if you get 80 per day that
would be triggering the parathyroid. Or my dr will say the parathyroid is not where the medicine goes to.

According to the pharmacist this is very normal to split a dose for many injectables.

I don’t think the body is a machine like a car. The body takes medicine in and gradually responds. Hopefully my body is absorbing the medicine and maybe hopefully saying thank you for splitting it.

Either your doctor or my doctor is right but at this point both my specialty pharmacy and my dr agree it is fine to do this.

Like I said, It’s possible your doctor thought you meant split the dose over two days?
I know that’s not likely what he thought.

My side effects over two injections are tolerable and they were too hard in one. I am glad I did the ramping up ( against my dr’s orders) and I am glad I am splitting the dose ( against your doctors orders) I am certainly the type to not be able to do these side effects but given ramping up and splitting I can do it at least so far.

The side effects are much better for me at 3-4 then 6 and I couldn’t get to 7 ever before.
