Thank you so much for your honest and detailed reply. I was never offered Forteo, but will talk with my Dr (female). I will research Forteo. I like that if I have side effects on Forteo, can stop the drug and it leaves the body soon. All of the side effects of these meds are horrifying, but I need something to build bone. From my understanding, once on osteo meds, will always need to be on them.
I am a wreck over all this.
Thank you for being so kind and replying to my message. I will talk with my Dr about forteo.

Forteo has a genetic prescription and I believe it’s much cheaper than Tymlos. After Tymlos or Forteo you can go on Prolia. I never had sent side effects. Unfortunately if you need dental work you must take a holiday. I haven’t slept well in weeks. It’s been too long and my back is starting to ache. I pray I’ll be ok. I’m older than a lot if you, 79 and can’t mentally or physically afford a compression. I have lost so much height. I had an accident and my L5 slipped forward. Physically I’m in pretty good shape except for back issues. Everyone seems to have different reactions to all these meds.
