I have been on Forteo daily injections for 1 year and I have experienced considerable joint pains which did not exist prior to treatment. My left hip and knee, my right knee and my hands have been getting worse each month. Has anyone else experienced similar reactions?
My doctor told me that I have Osteoporosis and wants me to try Forteo an injection for two years. Has anyone tried this drug and what were your side effects, if any. I don't want to make my stomach problems worse than there already are.
I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
Just was informed that I have osteoporosis. My doctor wants me to use Forteo, an injection that you use for two years.
As for myself, I am a patient suffering from severe osteoporosis. My doctor, realizing I cannot afford Forteo ($950 per month!), has suggested I try to find how I can take the equivalent, generic version, which is Bonista.
Please, if anyone can tell me how to get ahold of this medication, any address, emails of sellers, etc! I would be so grateful!

Hi-- When you say Medicare, I assume it is Medicare Part D, administered by an insurance company like Blue Cross, etc? If so, you might be in for sticker shock. I had a similar experience w/ Forteo, via Part D, they wanted $5K for 3 months. I went directly to Lilly, and qualified for pro bono meds for 2 years, the limit of tx on Forteo. My understanding is patients with cirrhosis get priority. Other Gilead experienced persons, and there are a few here, can tell you more.
Is it really worth doing a baby registry, meaning do people actually buy what you request?
Medications themselves can be classified as antiresorptive or bone anabolic agents. Teriparatide (Forteo) is also approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures. The medicine is given through daily shots underneath the skin and you can give these shots even at home. Another advantage is that it can be given in patients who cannot tolerate oral biphosphonate drugs.
Yes,I did my first registry at babies r us and target...
Ok so my co workers and my cousins are throwing me showers, one tomoRrow and one on Sunday..... yet I see my registry and the has only been 2 items purchased! I want to cry! Maybe no one will go... if they don't I don't understand why because I'm nice to everyone. ..
So my husband and I made a registry, and everything we chose we really want and need (obviously). Well his mom, who is planning our shower said and made a list of things I need to take off and that certain things don't match and that it's gonna confuse people? My husband and I got pissed. Are we in the wrong? We revised everything and still want what we chose. I feel as though she is over stepping her boundaries in this situation.
When they set you up for your registry they will give you a big list of what most people put on the registry.
Participation in the registry is voluntary. The registry relies on patients and healthcare providers to provide exposure and pregnancy outcome data to the registry. Despite patient education and counseling, ribavirin-exposed pregnancies occur. Understanding more about the risk of ribavirin exposure in human pregnancy is critical. Nurses are vital to the success of the registry.
m 5 months now, time is going so fast and im super excited!! When is the appropriate time to sign up for a baby registry? I dont even know when I should have a shower so I was wondering If its too soon to do a registry now? And should I be worried about asking for pricey items like a crib and stroller?
Ftm here. When u have a baby shower and u do the registry .... how can I "make" someone buy me a specific item.
If you made a registry anywhere they get your info that way, or if you have a friend who has recently made a registry they could have given them companies your info so you could get the free stuff!
