Has Anyone Injected less than Standard Dose Tymlos w/Good Results

Posted by willowmena @willowmena, 9 hours ago

I began injecting Tymlos in late September of 2025 after bone scan reading of -3.2 in my forearm. Hips were replaced and spine has lots of sports injuries so neither of those sites were valid. I immediately had the usual side effects of headaches and bone pain, plus fatigue. Ugh. I was also concerned that at 105 lbs., the standard dose was excessive for me. I cut back to 70 mcg and even skipped several doses when I felt particularly awful. Took supplements, increased protein and started weights early November. Then November 16 had blood drawn for P1NP. This wasn't a true baseline as was taking Tymlos for 6 weeks at that point, so reading of 55 was likely higher than true baseline from late September. I have stayed on 70mcg and January 15 blood work showed P1NP increase to 97! Query whether others are seeing strong response despite less than standard amount of 80 mcg? Oddly, I have not increased muscle strength or volume and feel fatigued and sore after workouts at low weights. 2 hour workouts 3 times weekly.
