Because of the health issues I already deal with on a day to day I'm very diligent in paying attention to how my body reacts to new medication. I wasn't having the issues with my BP before Forteo as a matter of fact my cardiologist and I had finally gotten everything under control. For the first time in 2 years I wasn't throwing pvc's, wasn't dealing with chest pain, and was taking BP meds to regulate my BP which was working. As far as the other issues, dropping 14lbs since starting is not made up, I have. None of what I described was made up. I do suffer from previous issues yes, but Forteo exasperated them to an unbelievable degree causing me to be where I am now. Again, I pay close attention to what is going on with my body due to the fact that I do suffer every day with ongoing issues so I may pay more attention than someone else....
