I didn’t realize forteo has fewer side effects. I need to learn more about that.

@candy209 Tymlos was suggested to me due to fewer side effects with adjustable dosing. I tried hard to get on Forteo, years ago. I saw an immunologist to get desensitized and spent a day getting 1/4,1/2, 3/4 and full doses with lung and heart tests along the way. I even used my kid's insulin syringe to measure out a 10% dose and my heart still went crazy, I was very woozy and faint, and short of breath.

We are all different. But I have never heard that Forteo has fewer side effects. That statement was from a poster's doctor and we don't know the source. If you are already on Tymlos, I hope you can stay on it. The two meds are very similar in how they work.
