I took Forteo about 14 years ago for about 2 years. I didn't have any side effects at all. You do have to inject yourself everyday but the needle is very thin and I didn't really feel it. As to traveling; I had no problems. I had an insulate lunch bag with a blue ice freezer thing. I always kept it with me and when I went through TSA I had my prescription with me and let them know I had a cold pack. Never had any problems. When in the hotel I kept it in the insulated bag. My bone density went from a -4.8 to a -4.0; which is pretty good. I followed up with actonel but had to switch to reclast because actonel irritated my stomach.
