Update re Forsteo funding stopped.
Dear Friends, At last after a very worrying couple of weeks, Margaret has the result that sadly we’ve had to fight for. We have had wonderful assistance from the nurses on The ROS helpline, throughout and today was no different. What was also no different today, was the conflicting information we were

Eye watering
I had my acoustic neuroma surgery in 2018. I have been using Hylo Forte eye drops to keep my eye moist. Surgery was performed on right side and my right eye has always been good. But from past two days that eye is constantly watering. Does anyone know why?

#1: The Start
Following the example of Clarebear I've decided to document my thyroid-adrenal journey on here in hopes it'll keep me accountable, and also may serve some after me. After a long, complicated history of no diagnosis, followed by lithium treatment, then prolonged time spent on T4 with no improvement,

Vitamin D & tolerating thyroid medication
Hello, Thanks so much for your time in reading my post, I would really appreciate any/all opinions on this. I am currently investigating why, ever since I crashed from 2 years of Keto, I can't tolerate thyroid medication. I have discovered I have extremely low adrenal function and am now treating

DHEA (& Cortisol)
Hello, I received these results today. I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me a steer on the DHEA aspect. I understand cortisol very well and clearly I have some form of adrenal insufficiency. I have 2 questions - 1. Do you think I need hydrocortisone from these results or can I

Label Change on Forteo (teriparatide) for those who might have missed the news from the FDA and Eli Lilly
“I thought it might be helpful to post the Label Change on
Forteo
(teriparatide) for those who might have missed the news from the FDA and Eli Lilly. We can now take it beyond the two year limit that was originally on it from the manufacturer and the FDA.

Forteo
Side effects of
Forteo
? Does your insurance pay for
Forteo
? See dr. next week, I'm pretty sure she will put me on this drug. I'm very nervous about this. Also, how often do you need to see the dr. while on treatment? I have a high copay for this dr. Sigh........

Question about Forteo injector pen
If you discharge the
Forteo
pen without the needle attached does that mess up the dosage? When I use it the next time will I get 2 doses?

Almost 1 year on FORTEO
I have been taking
Forteo
since January, and have had zero side effects. I am scheduled to see my doctor and have a DEXA scan early next year to see results of increased bone mass (hopefully!).

What to do about my Osteoporosis? 78 years old, Last DEXA scan shown severe osteoporosis. Did not like what the doctor said to do.
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.
