Hi 

I am a 44 year old documentary filmmaker and I have been on Forteo for a month and a half. I have a t score of -4.1, this is severe osteo. I also have two vertebral fractures at t5 and t6 and as yet no pain associated there. I have found the treatment quite easy to administer. All I have noticed is that I have the odd shooting pain usually in the tibia and once in the jaw, which lasts for less than a second and it is very intermittent, I am also very restless at night, can't seem to get comfortable, can't keep my legs still and get very hot, but only at night. Moods fine. I am working 70 hour weeks and go to the gym 3 times a week, jogging 15 km per week. No weight gain. Travelling with the pens is a pain so I know pack it in my checked in luggage for short flights and they seem fine for 6 hour journeys. It's the long haul flights which need constant checking with. I am due to get the results of my bone biopsy in a week or so, then I will have more information. To all of you, good luck and feel free to ask me any questions. I think Forteo is a risky proposal but for me, the anticipated benefits should outweigh the gains of a longer healthy life. 16 months to go.
