Please do! Eager to hear outcomes as I'm having some side effects on Tymlos after 6 months and would like to see if Forteo is a switch possibility (denied by my insurance initially as Forteo is evidently is more costly)

Hi,
I just had a bone density test after being on Forteo for about 14 months. My previous bone density test was in Nov. ‘21. Altho there was basically no improvement in my left or right hip, my spine improved from -3.6 to -2.9. For the first time I was given a Trabecular Bone Score (L1-L4 TBS) of 1.323. From the range I saw on the report, it was in the “normal” range. I plan to continue on Forteo for the next 11 months & will then evaluate what med is next, if any. I hope this is helpful to anyone considering Forteo which was originally suggested to me over 15 yrs ago! Take care, Linda
