I have a real bad stomach,alot of nausea all the time. My doctor told me that I have OsteoporosisOsteoporosis 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 femaleCondoms Female condoms Female sexual dysfunction and have been using forteo for 14 months. Until recently I had no side affects, except for mild drowsinessDrowsiness right after injection. Lately I've been having leg aches and restlessRestless leg syndrome 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.
