Hi cooper78,
Keep in mind that after Forteo you will have to use a bisphosphonate to maintain the gains.
Like you I had intolerances to bisphosphonates and Evista.
My endo wants to put me on Evenity now, but I’d have to follow with at least one year of Reclast! No way!
I’m a healthy 65 year old with no heart issues, I’ve decided to start HRT.
Every drug has risks, it’s a chance we have to take.
Best of luck.

I'm not sure why he insisted on the last for a year. What is her/his rationale? Does it have to do with other osteoporosis drugs you've already taken or___?

Actually I think HRT is the best way to go, but being 78, my doc says it is too risky. I had used for many years though. I am considering now prolia.
