Totally agree with you! That’s why I am very very hesitant about even starting Forteo . Besides the horrible side effects, if you don’t go on a follow up drug, they say you lose any benefit you received from being on the Forteo. And by that time your body has already been hit with the havoc of the drugs. I refuse to go on something the rest of my life! I would rather eat healthy, take appropriate vitamins and herbs to help my bones, exercise, etc. there is enough evidence out there that you can do it naturally! True, you have to be willing to possibly change your diet, lifestyle, etc. I’m willing to do anything!
