Second round of Forteo

Posted by hipsalve @hipsalve, Dec 12, 2025

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??

i was on Prolia, way less expensive than Forteo, for 2 and half years, after which it was recommended to do an injection that was supposed to last a year, which i did. But then i fractured several lower back vertebras and am still recovering, but not taking anything. Hard slog!
