smodesitt,
Forteo works well for me. -3.1 to -2.6 in the lumbar spine. I didn't have side effects.
It doesn't skew the blood work numbers.
It can reflect higher blood calcium. There is an actual rise for the first hours after the injection. So time any calcium testing by delaying the injection until later in the morning.
If calcium levels are high during use it might indicate a preexisting problem with the kidneys or parathyroid glands, which you'd want to resolve before continuing with the drug.
That is a lot of fractures; I hope you don't ache. And I'm glad you didn't suffer vertebral fractures above the tailbone.
You're going to be on the very best medication. Cheers to your endocrinologist and good cheer to your bones.
I can go on about Forteo extensively. I'd better wait for any questions you might have.
