@mmodesti omigosh are we the same person?! Nice to "talk" to someone with a lot of fractures like me (sorry it's you). And I have written that I have found that eating with the shot (especially something salty), hydrating and getting up and going out- all help.

For the first months I stayed in bed and was miserable for those first hours after the shot. Maybe it kept my blood pressure down? Maybe we metabolize it more quickly if active? In any case I am glad you are able to be active after the shot and have found, as I have, that it actually helps!

Our experience with Tymlos certainly is very similar. Maybe that is why your comments have been so helpful to me. As you have said many times, I have accepted that there is no osteoporosis treatment completely free of side effects, and have learned to see them as a sign that I have reached a "therapeutic dose". The thing is to see what helps diminish them.

I found out, for example, that taking the shot on an empty stomach makes the nausea worse.
I try to eat citrus fruits, carbonated beverages (I don't drink sodas, so I mix sparking water with a little orange, mango, or passionfruit juice and make my own carbonated beverage), and yes, salty things, just like I did with my morning sickness when I was pregnant. The feeling is very similar.

Staying in bed, although feels right at the moment, is not a good idea. I feel it makes the effects last longer. Somehow, doing things shorten the uneasiness of it all.
Thank you so much for all your helpful tips and insight. I wish you the very best.

I now before shot eat Ezekiel toast with Good brand cottage cheese on it, glass of orange juice with himilayan salt in it
And I don’t get the racey heartbeat as much and less headache and less lightheadedness
