broken13 - I'm sorry I took so long to respond. My Endo wants me to do the yearly Reclast injections. I will start in April. Not looking forward to it. It sounds like most get sick for a few days, if not worse. Did you do the full 2 years of Forteo the first time? What did you take in between your 2 rounds of Forteo?
I am worried about that too. I have about 18 months to go. From what I know now, without further Investigation I will probably go back on Fosamax, only because it is a old drug, it has been around a long time. And I did ok on it with tolerable side effects. I may schedule another phone consult with Mccormick just to get his input. He told me Fosamax and drugs like it could stay in the body for up to 10 years or so. If I understood him correctly. He also said i may only need to be on it for the first year off of Forteo to hold my gains. He thought for my case diet and exercise
could keep me stable. I know i will get a dexa scan every 6 months to a year afterwards. It is well worth paying $85 for peace of mind just to make sure I don't rapidly lose bone. I am just not comfortable waiting the 2 years.
So nice to have this group to share and learn from. Helps knowing your not going through it alone. Hope this helps.
God Bless
