May I ask how old you are and what your dexa scores are.
There are a number of sub categories under Osteoporosis that address the issue of different approaches to trying to treat osteoporosis. I would encourage you to review the posts that many have offered.
A side note. I took forteo for the full two years and had moderate gains and no noticeable side effects. It is true that those gains can be lost if one does not follow it with a med that stop or slow down the natural process of bone turnover.
There is enormous wisdom here. We are all different and this is not a one size fits all process.

@gravity3 I am 63 years old my DEXA scans were -3.5-, -2.5 and -4.5 I have a lot of side effects from this, but she wants me to stay on this and then she wants me to change over to rec class or Paul but I can’t take them because I also have kidney issues. I have an autoimmune disorder on top of that and thyroid disorder the problem is I noticed that I have a lot more cramping in my legs and arms. I’m having jaw pain that’s killing me. It’s like right in where the teeth is acting in the jaws. It hurts so Bad and I talked to my doctor about it and she just told me that if I want to stop I can stop and then go on the prolia or the reclast but both of them are very bad on your kidneys and stuff and autoimmune and I can’t. I can’t do that but if I stop taking the Forteo or I do the two years and deal with all the pain that I’m having they say that your bones can go back to being worse than what it was to start with. I’m not sure about that but then I hear people who take like algae cal and other stuff are doing better on their scans so I don’t know. But I’ll be 64 in a couple months. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what’s really anything sometimes I feel like this is a marketing scam. I don’t know, but I’d like to do a lot of things naturally now I heard that goat milk powder or goat milk is actually better than a lot of them just drinking goat milk is way better than regular calcium milk or any of them and then my doctor told me to stay away from the calcium and just take homemade spinach and all that stuff and eat that better calcium than pills cause you don’t really know it’s in these calcium pills but I heard that like algae cow and I have ocean organic or organic ocean or something like that they are more natural and they are better for you so I’m not sure but I do not feel good being on this injection whatsoever. I keep getting like flu like symptoms, pain unbelievable. The pain is unbelievable. It’s just like in the legs in the arms in the jaw my teeth hurt like and these are side effects cause I called up the company and asked them about it because my Dr Office does not know much. She’s not really paying attention to what I’m doing.
