Thank you for your reply. Thank you for letting me know Windyshores left the group. I'm glad you told me what drug you are using and that you haven't had any side effects. I am so afraid of side effects and mistakes that doctors can make. I am familiar with Dr. Kieth McCormack, I have been following him for awhile now. I have the "Great Bones book as well, on page 563, he talks about Forteo and Tymlos and states that his major caution with both drugs is that their effects on hip and forearm BMD must be monitored. Both drugs improve spine BMD but spine has higher trabecular bone than cortical bone, whereas hips and forearms have more cortical bone. He says that he has seen several patients with forearm densities plummert after two years on PTH analogs. My forearms are very skinny so that scares me! And my hip is also losing bone.
Has your hip BMD improved in the year you have been using it? Has you doctor been monitoring you?
