Experiences with

Forsteo

Following my trab 4 days ago I find the eye drop medication really drying for my eyes, has anyone had the same reaction and if so is there anything that you found helpful. I have hylo forte moisterising drops but they haven’t made much of a difference and I’m not sure if they are suitable just at the

My rheumatologist said I am going to have a hip or spine fracture and that will lead me to an earlier death, he said if I take the medication I will live longer. He wanted me to take FORTEO. he wouldn’t allow me to take Prolia. He said FORTEO build bone. Prolia doesn’t build bone. He said Prolia side

I'm taking Forteo, calcium and d3. I know I need to add k2. I'm not sure which one. My endocrinologist is not very helpful.

My rheumatologist suggested I take a shot in my stomach for two years of a medication called FORTEO, Sorry about the spelling of the medication. Some thing about taking a shot in my stomach every day for two years and then going onPreolia.. I have decided to do nothing. My daughter is upset with me she

Fosamax was useless. I continued to deteriorate. Waiting to get on Forteo as my osteoporosis is severe. Being on thyroid medication also seems to be a waste despite dose and brand not getting better. The doctor claims no other issues. I'm fed up., I didn't have any other side affect s such as gastric

I am seeking advice to help with my fractures. Have had the 2 year treatment with Forteo, still having issues. What do I do next?

Mucus in abundance: I cough up or simply clear my throat dozens of times a day bringing up a tablespoon of mucus each time. I can fill a 12 ounce water bottle with the slimy stinky stuff each day. I currently am eating well but loosing weight from 150 down to 143 over a couple of months. I had gained

After breaking 3 ribs for no reason and my bone density much worse, the rheumatologist, endocrinologist and GP felt Prolia may be the next step. There is no way to know what caused the ribs to break. I have taken Actonel, Boniva, Forteo and Fosamax already. I really did not want to consider this because

What is forteo?

Does anyone have experience with this new type of bone scan that measures both bone density and bone quality? It has been used in Europe but is relatively new to the US. I am interested in this because I have very low DEXA scores in my spine -4.1 and hip -2.8. No fractures to date but my doctor would

My records also show for me, that on having a drug holiday from Bisphosponates, the loss of bone density is slower than when compared to stopping the Forsteo.

I'm 77; have been on osteoporosis meds since 2008 including Fosomax, Forteo & 5 yrs, Reclast. FF annual Dexa scan in Aug. 2020 was told to stop Reclast for 1 yr. Prescribed Metformin for pre-diabetes Jan, 2019. Became nauseated with loss of appetite and weight. Stopped Meformin May,2019 but wt loss

I had the full 2 year course of forsteo and during the 2 years had continuous nausea and some sickness.

I have read about a treatment called Forsteo/teriparatide. Does anyone have experience of this? I understand it's more difficult to access and is more expensive. I'm interested in it because I've read it actually creates new bone growth as well as strengthening existing bone.

After I couldn’t tolerate AA and Forteo landed me in hospital for shortness of breath I researched a study protocol used in Canada which had good results. This was the COMB protocol using micronutrients: It used: fish oil, K2, D3 and strontium Citrate. I followed this for only a year and half because

After joining this group last week I got the best advice on what eye drops to use after months of torture. Ordered hylo forte and the relief is immense. Had 6 tubes of blood taken today at drs to test for autoimmune disease and many other things. I know it will take time. But a huge Thankyou for eye

Wasnt doing too badly on Forteo every second day and now on month 6, started developing fluey type migraine head daily, dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, stiff and can hardly walk for a few minutes when getting out of chair and feeling sick a lot. All this seemed to start soon after starting a new pen. Has

hello everyone, My gp has changed my eyes drops and I have severe dry eye from sjorgrens and I don't get on with this new product. I did try it but it is not as good as hylo forte. My gp refuses to change it. Has anyone else had this problem and how did they resolve it? Its so frustrating to take away

Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondered if anyone had any advice. I've got quite bad osteoporosis in my spine (-3.7 T score), and I have osteopenia in my hips. I'm 59, have always been quite thin and not terribly athletic, and lactose intolerant. No fractures yet. The endocrinologist has prescribed

After being diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago I had tried Alendronate and couldn't tolerate it; Tried Forteo for a couple of months but ended up in ER with shortness of breath. With my rheumatologist and internist approval I followed the Micronutrient protocol for 1 1/2 years - while taking prednisone
