Hi tilly, welcome and thanks for your question. I'm sorry you have all these allergies and weren't able to take Actonel or Boniva. I also have mitral prolapse, but none of the same allergies that you do. I took Forteo for 2 years and did really well on it.
Because you have these problems you need to check with your Dr. to see if you can take Forteo. Below are two articles on it were you can look up the side effects and read more about who can and can not take it.
Article from Eli Lily with side effects: http://pi.lilly.com/us/forteo-pi.pdf Check the side effects to see if your allergies are listed.
Article from the Cleveland Clinic on Forteo: http://www.ccjm.org/content /70/7/585.full.pdf+html?sid=9e07cee4-b325-4378-af70-e4b2c0b570f2 This second article is very good at explaining how the drug works and who can take this treatment.
Good luck
