Has anyone been on FORTEO and had horrible pain and side effects?

@inlimbo i’m on Forteo haven’t been on it long. I’m gonna say about four or five months. The only problem I have with Forteo is I get leg cramps and sometimes I get like flu like symptoms but that’s about it. I did get told that to take vitamin D vitamin K with boron along with some magnesium, not too much magnesium, and it helps with the cramping in the legs and stuff, but the vitamin D, K help with the calcium that you have to take to go directly to the bonus out of your bloodstream. My doctor wanted me to go on rec class, but because I had problems with my kidneys in the past, I have to be careful. She said that was better than the Forteo on the kidneys, but I was told opposite I contacted Forteo itself and rec class and no kidneys is a bad thing on class so I cannot have that at all so I’m just doing this other stuff. I don’t know anything about DHEA could tell me what that is supposed to do. I don’t know anything about it

@vmcgrantham DHEA I began to help with fatigue. But since it is considered a precursor hormone, it can help your body make other hormones that we lose as we age. If I applied it before evening meals I could tell it helped me with blood sugar levels. I apply around 4pm to assist withe circadian rhythm since I seem to be okay the first half of a day then begin to slide into fatigue and joint pain around mid afternoon. Given how well my femur remodeld and healed that might have benefited me there too. I never told the surgeon because I only found out about the DHEA research after the fact. He was actually surpirsed it had healed up better than I think he expected.

@vmcgrantham I've suffered with chronic dehydration for well over 30+ years (due to unknown toxin exposure while serving in the AF). Many other issues due to same exposure but recently I upped my potassium intake and my dehydration improved. I'm slowly increasing so not to shock my body but the improvment has been noticeable. My chronic dehydration has landed me in ER's so many times over the years, I've lost count.
So now, am hopeful. A certain DR Berg on YT has a lot to say about Potassium. Look him up. After reviewing his findings (2nd source verified), I saw a connection with Potassium deficiency and side effects of Forteo. Side effects of Potassium deficit include constipation.
I'm on another protocol for certain small bowel problems and that has caused constipation. Since adding more potassium that has improved for me and I don't seem to need the Miralax now. Again, this is my personal experience. Only time will tell if it helps with the Forteo therapy.
Apparently, potassium is also needed to help transport calcium to the bones from the blood. Could this help avoid hypercalcemia??
