@gently. My endocrinologist said the Forteo dose is not too high for me (I’m 5’2” and weigh 120 lbs). She said they give it to children. I’m about to start, so it will be interesting to see how my body reacts.

Not so sure about the children. It isn't recommeded for children whose bones are still growing. It is given to kids with hypocalcemia. But the dosage is titrated by weight. And given more frequently by infusion.
