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

What medication should I takeForteo , Prolia or Take my chances with nothing.
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

K2 question
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.

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. My daughter is upset with me she

Fosamax side effects
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

Phlegm in abundance for nearly two years. Is there any known condition that causes this much phlegm over a long period without diagnosis?
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

Help and Opinions on Prolia for Osteoporosis
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

Information about REMS Echolight scan for osteoporosis
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

Thankyou
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

Micronutrients used in study protocol reversed my osteoporosis though taking prednisone for PMR
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

Long running prescription issues
I've had problems getting my drops for the last year, can get all my other meds with no problems, but recently it's getting really bad, I should get 10ml Dorzolomide& Timolol monthly, the last 2 scripts had given me 5ml, enough for 2 weeks, also it appears that GP surgery have over ruled the eye hospital
