Forteo & kidney stones
I recently had kidney stone surgery, where each kidney was full of large kidney stones (too large to pass naturally, which was the reason for the surgery). In January I completed 2 years of Forteo injections, and wonder if the cause of all of those kidney stones were caused by the Forteo injections

The risk of doing nothing
, I have a cousin who is 93. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis many years ago started Fosamax and because of some side effects stopped taking the medication. I spoke to her recently about her osteoporosis and she told me that she was 5‘4“ in her prime and she now is 4 foot 11. She is legally blind

AFTER FORTEO
Has anyone taken Fosamax after Forteo with good results instead of going on Prolia? Also, has anyone taken Prolia and not have side effects? all we hear are the horror stories, there must be some good stories. Is it because people who are doing well don’t go on the website?

Severe Osteoporosis - Understanding the scan report and treatment
As a WF, age 60 - the last several years have seen some big health scares / diagnoses: FYI: After a torn shoulder rotator cuff injury in Oct 2022 and PT making the pain worse, my orthopedic Dr finally suggested an MRI. Results did not have good news. He then suggested a surgical repair with "bone

Hylo Forte or Carbomer Gel?
I have been using hypromellose eye drops for a while because, particularly from Spring to autumn, I have itchy, gritty, dry eyes. This year they're worse than ever making my vision very blurred and no amount of hypromellose will fix it. Last week I went to get my eyes tested, thinking the blurred vision

After Forteo
has anyone been on Forteo for two years and then not taken anything else afterwards? I am interested in knowing if they experienced bone loss after Forteo with no additional meds I do not want to take any more medication but I am told I will lose any gains if I don’t

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?

Evenity versus Forteo/Tymlos
Hi everyone, Has anyone tried Evenity. My spine is worse than my hips but my doctor likes the results that this drug has given people in both areas. It is a relatively new drug so I am not as comfortable with it as compared to Forteo or Tymlos. For those who have tried Forteo or Tymlos, did they

Travel with Forteo
I'm going to italy for 5 months. From here to my destination will be about 24 hours. I have 5 vials of Forteo. How do I keep it cool enough. Is it a hassle getting it in the plane. Do I need anything to travel with it. The needles will be in suitcase. Thank you

Label Change on Forteo (teriparatide) for those who might have missed the news from the FDA and Eli Lilly
I have just read the information below on Inspire.com (The National Osteoporosis Foundation which is now the Bone Health & Osteoporosis) and thought it might be of some use to someone here. There was a link at the end of this which I’m not able to post right now. “I thought it might be helpful to post

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!). I was surprised to learn after I complete my 2-year regime of Forteo, that I will need to continue on osteoporosis

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
