Sue Ellen, I am doing pretty well on the Forteo. I started the end of October 2023. I have had a little tired but not horrible. They switched me to the generic in January and now my blood pressure has increased and I notice that the injections sting more then the brand name so I am going back to the brand name.
My Endocrinologist recommended it and I did some online research and decided that would be the best option. I follow Dr Doug Lucas online and watch his You Tube videos and he said they try hard to avoid drugs in their office but sometimes their patients require it and Forteo is the only drug they use. It has been around a long time and is one of the best for spine building. I also read Dr. Keith McCormick's Great Bones book. I held off for a few years because I wanted to try "natural" but that didn't work. I also had to hold off for nearly a year for some dental work too.
Talk it over with your dentist but I would think you might want to get those procedures done before you start. My dentist said they are getting better at finding ways to deal with people on these drugs but I wanted to wait but then I fractured again and it's so painful and takes months to heal. I hope you get good medical advice and can find a solution that works for you.
