In answer to your thoughtful comments, I have reduced my dosage to 5 clicks and I feel less dizzy, nausea etc; I have the most pronounced bone loss in my spine; and i do exercise daily - 2 to 4 mile walk along hilly country roads! I'll try reducing the oral calcium from 1000 to 500 daily. Thank you so much for your help! My doctor has no time for me 🙁

@marauder if you can do 6 clicks eventually, that is definitely a therapeutic dose. Five probably is too. I do 800mg calcium daily in supplements because I cannot do dairy. My calcium level remains high normal.
I read that Tymlos "eats" Vitamin D so I do gummies for 3,000 units/day- 3 gummies, one of which includes 445mcg Vitamin K.
Tymlos really helps spine. I had a 20% gain going from severe to borderline osteoporosis (-3.3 to -2.5). @sallyj2 My hip had a 9% gain. Unfortunately femur neck is still -3.6 (down from -4.1) so I convinced my doc to let me do some Evenity (I might only do 3-4 months) before Reclast.
No problems for me with exercising on Tymlos though sometimes I waited a couple of hours after injection. Not always. Every day was different!
