Osteoporosis

I have a real bad stomach,alot of nausea all the time.  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'm a 59 year old female and have been using forteo for 14 months.  Until recently I had no side affects, except for mild drowsiness right after injection.  Lately I've been having leg aches and restless legs for quite a few hours ( usually about 4 or 5 ) after the injection.  I have an appt. with my Dr. at O.S.U. the 30th of this month when he will be taking more x-rays and I will talk to him about the other stuff.  Will let you know what he says.  By the way you can read about him on-line.  His name is Dr. Seth Kantor at The Davis Center Ohio state university.  Also I've had a hiatial hernia all my life and the forteo doesn't affect my stomach at all.
