Experiences with

Teriparatide

Hi, I'm coming to the end of 18 months on teriparatide and my doctor is extending this for a further 6 months. I'm wondering if anyone has taken a 'break' rather than going straight on for 2 years or has been offered an extra 6 months having finished the original 18 some time ago?

I have now been recommended for teriparatide, I hate injections and just wonder how anyone else has fired with this treatment.

Has anyone been successful in obtaining the latest anabolic drug Abaloparatide which is similar to Teriparatide, I would be very grateful to know. Thank you

Hi I had my 1st teriparatide injection Tuesday at 10.30am with nurse. After 15 mins felt shaky and hot but after that ok. After 4 hours felt really tired that night slept differently to normal wKing up alot. Yesterday I did my own injection at 7.45pm as I wanted to change it to evenings.

Mum has teriparatide injections and Mediquip do t provide a travel bag. Can anyone recommend a bag that keeps the own and a cartridge cook for at least 8 hours please. Many thanks :)

Hi all, I was due to start teriparatide injections middle of January, I have now been informed that because of a shortage of supplies the drugs will now come from Italy! Not sure how I feel about this and whether I should be concerned, anyone else had the same issue?

Can you have a week's break from the injections to go on holiday?

Hi,all I have just received the go ahead to start teriparatide middle of January, I'm still very apprehensive and not looking forward to the injections 🙄 I'm actually feeling OK at moment no fractures since last year, I'm hoping the treatment keeps it that way.I had no side effects with AA so am praying

My mum has been prescribed Teriparatide and has been taking it for around 9 months as her T score was -3.5 but hard to read dexa due to hip replacement and 3 spinal fractures, but given due to spinal fractures.

I had to stop Teriparatide after seven weeks due to side effects. Then tried denosumab (Prolia) 3 months’ ago, and I’m pretty sure I won’t have the next one as the side effects have been dreadful. My and career have been with horses, so I haven’t ridden now for nearly 20 years.

Even eating 3 hours or more before bed, she still gets indigestion / heartburn (a sour taste as she puts it), not sure if it’s the Teriparatide but I’d like to reduce that symptoms. Many thanks in advance

After the results from the bone density scan I was offered Teriparatide which I’m been on for 3 weeks . I have a long way to go

I’m scared because I had my first Denosumab injection yesterday afternoon, and all previous treatments gave me side effects (that’s all orals, that wrecked my insides), and then Teriparatide (had to stop after 7 weeks).

I’m about to start Teriparatide injections and am quite anxious about it.

He immediately suggested Teriparatide. This is a self administered injection with a pen once a day for two years. The NHS would not prescribe this.

Hi, if anyone has been or is being treated with teriparatide brand Movymia I would love to hear your experience of how you use it and how you got on with it.

Has anyone been through similar or does anyone have any positive stories about Teriparatide to give me some reassurance that things will improve for me. I look forward to hearing for other members. please do not suggest any social media groups as I am not on any.

I will finish daily injections in September and have been advised that the next stage will be an injection every six months. Would anyone be able to tell me whether they have experienced side effects? Thank you

I finally decided to stop the daily injections, even if just for a drug-holiday. so last night no injection. The relief was instant. I had more strength to go to bed. Was not dizzy anymore and my low mood had vanished. No leg cramps overnight, and I feel rested this morning. 100% better. The side effects

is there anyone out there who has stopped the 18 month Teriparatide treatment halfway through? Or even after a few months? I am really struggling with the side effects: bone and joint pain, lack of energy, etc. I’m on Pregabalin for the pain.
