Prolia vs. alternative vs. Forteo?
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

Dexa scan results while on prednisone and using the COMB micronutrient protocol.
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

Bit of worry about Evenity
I'm a 60 yr/old female, fit and active, and just diagnosed with osteoporosis (-3.2 on a couple of vertebrae, -2.5 for rest). I'm in the US and was referred to both an endocrinologist and a rheumatologist and both of them recommended Evenity. My insurance will cover, and I have low risk of CV (a main

Any difference in gains taking forteo at night instead of morning
Has anyone made gains taking forteo at night instead of morning? I read an article which says that you only make half the gains taking it at night instead of the morning. I am getting really bad insomnia and wondering if changing it to the night instead of the morning will make a difference. Or if anyone

Forteo insomnia
Has anyone experienced insomnia when taking Forteo? I started off sleeping better on it but now, 6 x weeks later, am experiencing worsening insomnia, 3 or 4 hours a night mostly but sometimes around the clock on no sleep. Has anyone else had this, if so, did anything help or did it wear off as you were

Change in drops for dry eye
My GP has written to me to say that they have decided to change my eye drops that treat dry eye from Hylo-Forte to Evolve HA. I am guessing for price reasons. Is anyone using Evolve HA? What do you think about it?

Dry eyes
My husband suffers terribly with dry eyes. He uses Hylo Forte and Poly Visc which help, but at the end of the day his eyes are very sore. Our Eye Specialist is advertising a new treatment (at least for the east coast of Australia) called Lipiflow. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and has it

Forteo
Hi. I have severe osteoporosis too. Have been on Forteo for the last four months . Can’t say there are no side effects as it seems to effect people differently . So I won’t go in to what bothered me. Important thing is exercise as I found that when I sat around not doing anything I woul feel much worse

Does anyone have an experience with Forteo?
I'm new here and new to severe osteoporosis, no fractures, on Fosamax but endocrinologist suggests Forteo. 65 years old, female, feel great, handling Fosamax well. I'm reluctant to change due to costs, side effects, etc. Any experiences with Forteo or Tymlos? Thanks!

Osteoporosis caused by Imbruvica

New fast test for drug modality efficacy, no radiation, simple blood test.
Just had this test done after being on Prolia nightmare for 2 years, now on Forteo for 1.5 years with great sucess. This test allows rapid analysis of bone turnover, just had mine done and it proved out the efficacy of my current modality. disclaimer, I am male, but apparently that is not a factor in
