Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with forteo. It took me about one and half months to get used to it. Hope you could gradually adjust into it. What’s the worst side effect that’s hard for you?

I felt the clicks that I heard when administering forteo is a bit random and the clicks mostly occurs towards the end of pushing the plunger. It might $be hard to quantify the amount.

If you have a pen that’s near end of usage, like 27-28 days old, you could try to play around since there will be some liquid med remaining.

Most of the literatures I read on forteo had 20, 40, and 80mcg tested, so I guess 20mcg is the minimum effective dose. It would be nice forteo pen has a set titration clicks like tymlos pen does.

Best wishes

Hi maybin,

Lots of different side effects.

Strangest, I think, is the fact that it was will tolerated in the beginning. (Started 12/27/2023)

Today it’s headache, fatigue, unsteady on my feet.

This after a three day holiday,
I felt fine and resumed Forteo.

Gave myself a shot last night and today headache and fatigue.
