Thank you windyshores! Fractured my humerus last summer...dont want to go thru something like that again...the doc said it was a fragility fracture even though I slammed hard on the concrete--tripped on buckled sidewalk. Osteoporosis showed in spine--dexa was -2.7 ...thankfully the others are osteopenia! Insurance did not approve Evenity...but did approve Forteo...was told about Eli-lily co-pay assistance card...amazing!!! My copay with insurance was going to be $2200 a month (yeah right)..with the copay assistance card...$4!!!! Such a blessing!!! How long did you try the Forteo?

Hi Good Bones!
I just wanted you to know that I have had no trouble taking Forteo over the past year. It was recommended for me many years ago & I declined. However my scan of 14 or more months ago showed -3.5 in my spine & my other readings were also osteoporosis. I decided that it was time to try Forteo. I plan to have another DEXA scan in the next couple of months & will report on my results. Take care, Linda
