@njhornung why is Forteo contraindicated?

Some of us can tolerate Tymlos but not Forteo. But if your doc (or insurance) won't approve either, you have to try a bisphosponate or Prolia first. If you cannot tolerate the bisphosphonate, then insurance will often cover Tymlos or Forteo.

I am hoping to read her notes so I can verify what I thought she said. Notes are up but they are blank. I have cll, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a blood cancer (grade 0).
Maybe the possibity of getting a bone cancer from Forteo is the problem.
This is the second place that seemed to minimize the seriousness of other possible adverse reactions. We are more than just bones
