Tymlos in thigh efficacy?

Posted by lp30 @lp30, 4 days ago

My doctor ok’ed switching Tymlos injections from abdomen (no fat, just skin & not taking the jabs well) to thigh (what a relief! So easy now- fat there no problem).
However, I’m still concerned since there have been no studies with this, only with Forteo, and of course I want this med to work ! Since it “needs” fat, it seems the thigh would be even better.?
Has anyone done thigh with great results?

I don't see why it matters. The medication is going into your bloodstream and circulating. I used to get a mild head "buzz" after injecting - and obviously my head is a long way from my abdomen. 🙂
