FORTEO to prevent bone fractures

I don't like the Forteo pen as much as the Tymlos one. I always have drops on the needle with Forteo after my injection. I have no problem with the Tymlos pen.

I take calcium chewables. I had weightloss surgery 2013, and I still have a small stomach, about the size of a walnut, and only 3 feet of small intestines. Chewables are also taken with a small snack and my enzymes. Have you been tested for how much enzymes you still make? EPI or Exo Pancreatic Enzyme Insufficiency. It's a stool test. This test and diagnosis has found its way to Primary Care and Emergency Medical Professionals. The manufacture of the enzymes has a lot of information on their website (Abbvie). If you aren't on Medicare, you may qualify for free vitamins through the manufacture, It's a blessing. Surgeon prefers me to take everything at 200% It's not bad tasting. I picked a popular seller on Amazon, and I can get 1-2 days delivery and it's consistent. (Berimelts).
2 daily vitamins chewable ~ (may be) free from the manufacture using their patient portal
3 Calcium chewables (every 3 hours for me). $20 / 30 days
1 B12 should be the disolving kind and go under your tongue $20 / 90 days $6.50 / 30 days
1 Iron chewable (every other day) $10 / 90 days or $3.65 / 30 days
=================== $45 / month But I get the bigger bottle or count, and you'll see your price per day coming down. Hope some of this was helpful

I took alendronate (Fosamax) about 4 years ago and considering other medications when the positive response I initially had declines. I'm curious how well Forteo worked for folks and if they were able to improve their T-scores.

Leave it in a little longer. Also, push the plunger a little slower

I do leave it in for a long time, but I push it in fast. I'll try to slow down. Thanks

I've tried everything. Longer needle, leave it in longer, push it in slower, twist it before pulling out, during pulling out. Still, and always that tiny glistening drop. Now that I'm complaining there is always a mm left in the pen when the plunger won't draw anymore. I've tried smashing the mechanism that blocks the advance. Pens are almost indestructible. No luck, yet. Ikel?

I always have a little drop on the needle. No big deal. And there's always some left in the pen after 28 days. I just figured that was normal. Trying not to stress over it.
