Tymlos side effects

Thank you for your encourgement. It was a long complex job to try to figure this out. The thought is that, for me , the tymlos was building up in the body. I do not process toxins fast or well - hormones, toxins and medications must be processed ( detoxed) in the liver in order to be eliminated from the body. Normally I do not have a probelm , as I eat cleanly, organic, no caffiene, no alcohol, no drugs ( not even tylenol)., no frageances no chemicals.etc. However, tymlos is a hormone and must be processed. Since I am a slow processor, the hormone began to sit in my system and get attracted to sites it could attach to - the pancreatic islets ( loaded with PTH receptors) were my vulnerability and became 'clogged' so the enzymes could not get to the digestive track. I believe I have always had a vulnerabiity there so I dont know if the pancreass continued to be inflammed even while I as on enzymes - but I am now off tymlos and have returned to 'normal' My ayurvedic /naturpathic physician veiws digestion not so much as a stomach issue as it is a liver/gall bladder/ pancreas issue. This is a different prespective than most GI people who seem to assess digestion as always a stomach issue or acid issue. I did not have a stomach problem or an acid problem.
I was very lucky to arrive a solution ( supplement with enzymes and liver support) to manage the pain and digestive issues. It gives us hope that we can learn to handle the side effect that are not severe and do what we need to regain health.

I have never had any stomach issues and started tylmos with little concern for digestive discomfort. I read that TYmlos does not cause GERD but the side effects listed as common, do include stomach pain. Unfortantely I began to expereince upper stomach pain six months after starting tymlos; this was accompanied with excessive burping and feeling that I was 'full' after eating just a few bites. Food would sit in my upper stomach. I had no intestinal gas. I spoke to the tymlos pharmacist who concurred that they receive quite a few comments about upper staomch pain but they did not have any suggestions to help.
Allopathic doctors could not help me - I did not have an ulcer and did not have GERD.
After much research, and seeking naturapathic help, I learned that there are parathyroid receptors all throughout body and indeed the pancreatic islets are full of PTH receptors. Pancreatic enzymes are essential to digest foods. My symptoms echoed pancreatic insufficinecy. Voila.... I started taking pancreatic enzymes with meals and all my sympotoms subsided. It was a simple inexpensive solution but took a long time to figure out. We are each different and will have different side effects. The key is to figure out how to manage them. Sending postive energy and healing light to bring you the best of health. Stay positve and engaged. We can help each other along the way....

I have been on Tymlos for 7 months. I have noticed mild constipation as the only side effect. I just had a follow up DEXA and my T score for the vertebral spine went from -3.1 to -2.1, putting me in osteopenia instead of osteoporosis!

How long did you take the tymlos? I believe I’m like you..I process hormones very slow. And Ive got a long history of IBS. When I get the nausea and stomach pain from Tymlos it lasts 12-24 hrs. I had to go down to 1 click from 2..and still getting nausea. But I would guess at such a low dose I won’t get any benefit. 🙁 I haven’t tried Forteo but I’d guess I would feel same. I tried Evenity and had no GI trouble but horrendous insomnia…literally could not fall asleep for a month.

Thanks so much. Which specific brand and amounts of pancreatic enzymes are you taking with each meal?

I started Tymlos 6 months ago and have had no problems at the full dose other than heart palpitations twice until now.
Nausea begins close to my time of taking it. It started mildly and I now find the nausea difficult for hours into the night. I am unable to sleep for hours and feel miserable.
If this continues I will need to lower the dose and hope that helps.
My thanks to all who share, without you, I would not know of the option to lower the dose. Any other suggestions for me?
