I think it helped. I'm young - only 49 and peremenopausal, so felt uncomfortable and didn't finish

too expensive

I've been using it for 2 months now. I hope it's working.

Just finished 2 year treatment

Don't know yet

After 5 years of Fosamax and now a broken hip I have just completed my first month of Forteo with no side effects so far.

advised by my doc. to begin Forteo...ater researching thoroughy have determined that I will use natural means to help with my osteoporosis.

I started Forteo in the fall of 2006. It was so brutal that i coulding take it every day. well, with a doc review 3 months ago I had to confess that I wasn't taking the shot everyday. However the past three months, I have not missed a day. I just had a bone density test, and my numbers have come up. My score has been minus 3.75 for 3 years. A few effects..pain. bone pain. I can barely rub up against something and the pain is terrible. I guess that is due to the bones, nerves and everything else working? anyways, now it seems I have neuromylasia? like the muscle spasms but in the nerves. alrighty. whats one more thing on the list of the body that is giving out on me and I am only 55. would love to talk to those who are on the forteo and offer support. once I stayed on it and started taking it everyday, then the side effects and feeling like the flu 24/7, well it seems to have helped the symptons. Yes, forteo is a differemt drug then the bone meds, fosamx, etc and is a parathyroid mix..natural I believe. tired right now, sorry for being a bit spacey. For those who have osteo please be careful and do what you have to do to get help. No one had a clue I would end up with three fractures of my pelvis when I slipped on the deck and went down. My doc was concerned about back fractures and such, but everyone flipped out when I fractured the pelvis..usually the pelvis withstands most attacks and breaks due to car accidents and those types of things, not just simply slipping. That changed my world forever. not complaining, it could be a whole lot worse but some days it is difficult... hugs to all who are carrying on the battle.. cathy

I've been on this med for 2 months now. Some mornings my hips hurt so bad. They call it growing pains, because you are literally growing bone! Yahooooo!
