@broken13 Wow! so sorry to hear of the fractures you've dealt with! I'm glad you have had the benefit of the meds. No fractures yet for me. But funny thing....I received the Forteo yesterday but no needles included. I called the pharmacy company this morning. The needles are a separate order so they have to contact the doc who is out of the office till Tuesday to get a prescription for them. Very odd to send out expensive medicine with no way to have it administered. Not a huge deal for me but leaves me shaking my head as to the inefficiency of that but the med is now safely in my frig and I'll start it whenever the needles show up.

@luckypup It’s funny you say that because I need to go pick up the Rx for needles at CVS, but haven’t yet gotten the med from CVS specialty. 😂
It may be next week for me too.

@luckypup I have always had to get a box of needles and alcohol swabs separately. The pharmacist recommended small size. Says 0.23 mm x 4mm on the box. I also go get my alcohol swabs at the Dollar store. 200 individually wrapped for $3 is a good deal! lol
