I walk an outside 2 and 2/3 mile trail and have been doing so for at least 5 days a week for 5 years or more. So I was totally shocked when my rheumatologist prescribed Forteo as she made it sound like my osteoporosis was extreme.
I have been injecting my newly protruding belly for a year now and have gained 15 pounds and have rolls around my midsection. I had to buy new clothes in a bigger size and hate it!
I will get a new scan before my appt. next month and don't want to continue but will likely follow the advice of my doctor.
I can't help wondering if doctors get a "kickback" from Lily for prescribing this drug!??!
