Your doctor might be doing the best she can.
Luckily, you know that it isn't good enough.
Try to get an order for bone markers P1NP and CTX before you start Forteo. In three months you should repeat them and you'll have a good idea if Forteo is working for you. Your doctor will likely be reluctant to order them. My sense of her response is that she doesn't know. But she almost certainly knows all kinds of other valuable things about a multitude of diseases. And we have to credit her for prescribing the very best drug for osteoporosis.
I've really been having a great time with this pursuit of the perfect drug, perfect dose and perfect timing. I so enjoy reading the medical literature and chasing little threads as well as combing through the doctors. I tend to share too many obscure (but very exciting) details. And I'm really quiet in person.
So I appreciate your note and am happy to say more if there is anything else you wonder or worry about.
Terry.
