@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?

I took a half dose of Tymlos from February 2024 through November 2024. I went to a new endocrinologist, mostly because the one I had didn't seem to know much. He said that I knew more than he did. The new Endo thought it was better to be on a whole dose of Forteo than half of Tymlos. I felt good on 20 mcg Tymlos and wouldn't have even tried Forteo, but the Endo gave me a sample. I tried it and surprisingly at first it didn't bother me. Then in the fifth month I started having issues. I have a lot of pain, especially in my legs, fatigue, brain fog, as well as frequent and urgent urination that keeps me up at night. I hope your natural path works for you @psanchez33617. I know that I felt best without medication.
