I started taking Forteo in July, 2010 and went off it on November 8th, 2010 due to increased, even more severe overall bone pain in every bone and fatigue and dizziness throughout each day where I found I could not get off the couch - worse, if you can believe, than the symptoms and effects of Fibromyalgia. I cannot comment on muscle cramps because of severe myofascititis and muscle pain from Fibromyalgia.
