Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

@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!

I have been taking D but your notice that Tymlos eats it makes me think I have to get gummies or up the dose too. Thanks for that alert. I was not aware.
Can I ask you how long you were on Tymlos before you saw the gains you report? Did you do a test after a few months or only one test after a year or so of treatment?
I have been trying different treatments unsuccessfully for the past year and finally can manage Tymlos which I've been on for 3 1/2 months. My doc wants to do a dexascan in Jan or Feb but I think that might be too soon. How long were you on Tymlos before checking progress?
