Thanks so much. My doc had said I would be on forteo for a year. I could ask her about longer. Is this third year your last year on forteo?

Hi, Helenrose,
I keep reading about how important it is to continue Forteo for the full dose--two years. There may be some complicated thinking behind the decision for your use of only one year. I don't think you get the full advantage of Forteo until the second year, most especially in the hips.
The endocrinologist now plans to leave me on Forteo until my T score is -1, by which I think he means from now on. I didn't think we could ever get back to -1, but when I do, I'll ask for another year.
I hope your doctor agrees to your request.
