No, I tried it once and had nothing but bad side effects. I take my vitamins and exercise every morning. Try to get out walking and get at least 10,000 steps a day. It seems to be working for me and I will find out when I have my next Dexa Scan! I also try real hard to eat a healthy diet 🍽 Good luck to you whatever you decide to do. Have a great day ☀️💛☀️

I used forteo for 2 years, which seems to be the limit of how long it can be taken. It was difficult to get used to injecting myself in the stomach every day, but it was the only remedy available that I could tolerate.
Now I’ve been on Prolia infusions, twice yearly, for several years, and seem to be holding on!

Yes I was on Forteo for 2years. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. I had no problem with the medication and never encountered side effects, it simply didn’t help me.
