Teriparatide/Forteo

I took Teriparatide for the full 2 years and never had any issues at all. I gave myself the shot at night as recommended by the GYN. It just became part of the routine. When I traveled I used a small case with 2 ice packs that kept the Teriparatide cold. I didn’t want to have any interruption during the 2 years of treatment. The results were great.
After I finished the 2 years, I selected Raloxifene as the next treatment. This decision was based on Raloxifene being an estrogen receptor. Now I’m on HRT (6 months) at 69 yrs old. I took me 4 years to convince my GYN. I feel great, sleep well, my skin is improving and I’m less anxious. Hopefully the next scan will show improvements.

@hansens , hi. I just came off Forteo and did Reclast as my followup med. I'm also 69 and am interested in HRT. How did you convince your GYN. I'm having difficulty with that.
