Second round of Forteo
Wondering if anyone has done a second course of Forteo. I took Forteo about seven years ago. Had decent gains and no side effects. Followed it by one dose Reclast. Gains held pretty steady until this year my T score of spine dropped to -3.6. Also had small fracture from car accident. Dr. wants me on Evenity but honestly that really scares me given that i have a very strong family history of stroke and cardiac issues (in both parents, and my dad’s whole family). I don’t have any cardiac issues. Just have high cholesterol. But I think I’m too scared to take it. Wondering about retreatment with Forteo or Tymlos. Anybody do retreatment with either of those anabolics??

1 Reaction@ipg I am still completing my second round of Forteo and have not yet decided on follow up. Recommendation has been Evenity or Reclast. I'm leaning towards going back on Raloxifene even though they say it is not a strong enough drug to maintain gains, it worked well enough for me before.
@daisylou I had no side effects from Raloxifene either.
@ursala
what kind of side effects when taking Tymlos? i'm supposed to get it.
Years ago i had Prolia but i had to stop because of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
does somebody has experiences with raloxifene?

Group to the magnifying glass symbol for search and enter raloxifene.

I took one dose of Reclast after my first round of Forteo. I did not have side effects. It held me for seven years. My DEXA numbers then dropped and I had a traumatic fracture. I am now on a second round of Forteo.
