Has anyone experienced severe eye pain with Forteo
Severe eye pain while using Forteo. (Along with a number of other side affects.)
The pain is near the outside edge of my left eyeball.
It’s so bad I’m thinking of going to see an Ophthalmologist immediately.

Please go quickly to the Ophthamologist - any severe eye pain should be seen immediately.
Let us know what the outcome is.

I went to the eye doctor day before yesterday.
She wrote orders for a lot of blood tests and prescribed prednisolone drops for my eye.
The eye is better. I go back to see her this afternoon.

My ophthalmologist recommend that I see a rheumatologist.
It looks to me like Forteo is giving me arthritis.

Here are the results of the blood test.
Patient Information (Patient-Information.pdf)
I’ve been reading about rheumatoid arthritis.
When you consider my history of extreme fatigue ,
of pain in my right toe, swelling of feet and legs and scleritis in my eye, symptoms point to Rheumatoid arthritis.
What should I do?
Also:
Ophthalmologist said: this is the kind of thing you might see with the Bisphosphonates.
Does this mean I should stay away from Bisphosphonates?
