Comment:
I took Fosamax for awhile, but it didn't help. I took Forteo for two years and it did help. I never had any side effects. I'm just sorry I couldn't take it more than two years.

Comment:
I have been on Forteo for only 4 months so do not know its effectiveness or my satisfaction. The first time I used it my heart raced and I had to lay down. That went away but lately I've been getting stabbing pains in my bones all over my body. This is not constant but I would say it occurs several days a week. I'm praying that it works.
