Mixed results 1 year after Forteo: What are your thoughts?

He only said that if I didn't follow up with Fosamax I would lose the gains I got from Forteo.
I found this about a research study: Recently, some researches showed that sequential administration of parathyroid hormone followed by bisphosphonate was effective in increasing the BMD of osteoporotic patients, in which the followed therapy of bisphosphonate could effectively maintain and elevate the BMD after teriparatide discontinuation [17].

Just so you are aware, Fosamax is not the only bisphosphonate on the market. It was recommended to me by Dr McCormick , because I’ve had some history of GERD. That he would recommend Actonel, not Fosamax . Look into that . Maybe a possibility .

Thank you very much for your reply lkel. Is your doctor monitoring your current fosamax treatment with any bone turnover markers, or just with Dexa annually? If you don’t mind, please share Dexa results following fosamax therapy.
