Forteo
Hi, is anybody here taking forteo ? I have been on this drug for nearly a year and have gained weight around my middle. I keep getting told the drug has nothing to do with weight gain. As I had 3 fractures and 2 compression fractures which was treated by kyhoplasty surgery on them. I do have osteoporosis

No meds can help - ANY FURTHER OPTIONS - please?
Hello, there, everyone. I am one of the victims of Prolia. I have just turned 60 and am recovering from 5 vertebral fractures after stopping taking Prolia in October of 2017. I have already exhausted my bisphosphonate period (I was first diagnosed about 12 years ago) and unfortunately, after the fractures

Forteo potential dangers
In Australia Forte has Black Box because during trials on rats it caused bone cancer. It should only used in extreme cases Also in Australia it can only be used for 18 months in your whole lifetime due to the risks (2 years in Europe ) Also due to lack of studies no one can tell you authoritively what

No diagnosis - treating symptoms only help please
After my latest test results I've accepted that my symptoms will be treated but not my thyroid. To be fair to my gp, she did all the tests including anti bodies and T3 and they show nothing that indicates a thyroid problem. I'm convinced there is one but I'll just have to be further down the line before

very dry eyes
last year my eyes have become much dryer and I no longer feel comfortable in my own body. Use the warm compresses and Hylo Forte drops but by night time my eyes are red and sore. Any suggestions, my optomologist doesn't feel there's a problem but he's not living with it.

FORTEO for bone fractures
I’m giving myself daily injections of FORTEO since nov 06,17. Also, I have PMR/GCA. I never show lab results supporting my diagnoses; however the biopsy was positive for GCA and I have monthly infusions of actemra to prevent blindness and to allow me to get off prednisone. 7 mg now on slow taper.

HOW MANY SYMPTOMS DO I NEED FOR DIAGNOSIS??
Hi all, I am yet to be diagnosed but feel totally confused and upset with the length of time it is taking and how slow the consultant is in dealing with me. I had been feeling poorly for about 6 months, exhausted but had difficulty sleeping, flu like symptoms but kept dragging myself to work and trying

Sleep aid
I tried Ashwagandha and 3 mg time release melatonin taking Ashwagandha 400 mg at 8 pm (I take Azilect 1 mg 8 am) and melatonin at 10 pm. Instead of sleeping through TV I felt social and talkative not a bit anxious and sleep was restful and restorative. But next day found that after taking 5 mg Isradapine
