I don't regret taking the Forteo but I wish that the drug company had not misrepresented what the drug could and could not do. Quite frankly after some disappointing results I started to feel like a guinea pig. I said, no more. No more drugs for osteoporosis. Anyway, that was decades ago. Since then I have had three DVT's in the past 25 years and I will have to remain on a blood thinner for the rest of my life. One DVT is rare. Can you imagine having had three over the course of 25 years. Also I had a total hip replacement a little over a year ago and although the surgery went well I still have some pain. It's something I can live with at the moment. I have been told that the other hip would need replacing in 3 years or so. Can't even imagine that. Life goes on but I have always had a positive can do attitude which serves me well.
