I'm so sorry to hear about your severe reaction to Forteo @psanchez33617. I am in my 5th month of Foreo and have very painful, swollen calves, but they don't look as bad as yours do. The veins behind my knees are swollen and painful. I was on a half dose of Tymlos before Forteo and may go back to that. I don't seem to be able to tolerate any full dose medications. After breaking 5 bones in 18 months, I thought I'd give medication a try.

@dsuefowler it surely is a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont and broken bones are not at all fun. We could share stories on that, I am sure. I guess it all boils down to risk vs benefit but for some of us there is a high degree of risk and not as much benefit. Where are the comments from the people that have had good experiences with these drugs? I do know that there has to be some, but not in my world. Forteo only stays in your system for a short time, thus the need for daily injections. It is why I consented to try it. My doc wants to pursue other options but I cant imagine what it would be like to have a reaction to a drug that stays in your system for a long period of time. For now, I will take my chances with alternative methods, diet, exercise and focus on being as strong as I can.
When you were taking a half dose of Tymlos, why did you switch to Forteo?
