I have hypermobility syndrome and fibromyalgia. I am super sensitive to almost all medications. Now on Forteo, I am noticing bad muscle weakness and joint pain. I wonder if my connective tissue problems are interacting with the medication. Or, could it be high calcium? I get about 1000 mg of calcium a day from 180 mg Algaecal Plus and the rest from food. Forteo raises the amount of calcium in the blood. I don't know much about my hypermobility, but joined in since some of you also have connective tissue problems.

I keep being told to take more calcium, but forteo or tymlos raise calcium levels. So I'm still waiting for an explanation of why it might not be better to reduce calcium intake on these drugs. Love to hear the science of how this works!
