Considering Forteo

Good morning. I’m doing okay on Forteo. I’ve started with a couple side effects this weekend that I’m reaching out to my Dr about today. I started having some tinnitus that is bothersome for sure. I’ve had it in the past but not quite like this. Also… I have a funny pressure in my chest. Not sure if it’s related but I read that it could be.
It’s scary to be putting a drug into your body that can affect it in so many ways. I know the benefits outweigh the negative side effects…. So I’m hoping that I’ll be okay.
I don’t take a magnesium supplement. I’m wondering if I should as @luckypup shared.

I’ll update after I talk with my Dr. this week.

☺️

I appreciate your feedback. I take d3 and magnesium glycinate. I have a slew of mild medical issues that I am scared about with this drug interaction. I am 69. I know it’s inevitable for me to do something. Have you ever fractured?. I am at risk for MRONJ so that is why I am scared to consider what to do after Forteo. Are you tired a lot? I hear about constipation, hair loss etc. why Forteo over Tymlos? Good Luck- please advise
