ans, a well known bone expert at Stanford told me that it makes no sense to take Forteo for longer than three months because the bone markers will tell you that after three months the coupling action of osteoblast and osteoclasts causes a rise in osteoclasts that overwhealm the benefit of additional osteoblasts. I would be interested in McCormick's take.
The bone expert prescribes three months of Forteo followed by three months of a bisphosphonate and then back to three months of Forteo. He follows the bone markers for each patient.
The endocrinologist I've been seeing long term tells me that the Felicia Crosman studies have been disproven. But I can't find documentation.

Thanks, already, for asking McCormick.

Thank you for the link to that study. That's very interesting. My experience on Forteo was that I gained density the first year and lost very slightly the second which backs up that finding. That loss could have potentially started much sooner but the dexas are only done on an annual basis. I'd also love to know McCormick's understanding of this. Would you mind sharing the name of the bone expert you consulted at Stanford?
