| 2 | Osteoporosis | Blurred vision, chemical taste in my mouth, excessive thirst, heartburn, facial numbness. | After 90 days of using Forteo I experienced facial numbness. Came off drug after discussing with my doctor. Have been off the drug 4 days now and numbness is still there. | F | 63 | 90 days 20 mcg | 12/22/2019 | 3 | thin bones, several breaks | Started noticing some discomfort mostly below my waist about month seven. Thought it all was arthritis starting so told myself to “buck up”. I’ve lost focus and any driving force to complete tasks. Not worth much on the job. I also have extreme fatigue and am sleeping all through the weekends with a heating pads my thighs. Feel terrible tingling sensations in my feet and lower legs like they are waking up from being asleep. I thought It was neuropathy. Pain is pretty severe. I don’t remember my broken back or any other of my breaks hurting like this. When I broke my back I was given pain meds. I took very few of them often biting them in half. In the last two months I have taken the remains 50% of the bottle. So 50% of the bottle in 11 months and 50% in the last two. Also gained a little weight and have more headaches. I seem to be depressed. I’ve tried all kinds of OTC products to find pain relief. The pharmacy that fills my Forteo prescription has recently been asking me about side effects. My answer has been no because I never thought these things could be caused by the drug. Just thought body getting older. Never considered Forteo the cause. Wanted to be theIr poster child. Found reviews experiencing some of my symptoms. I need the Forteo for my bones but I’m unsure I can exist with these problems. I don’t need to be the grandmother made of glass but my quality of life has changed lately. I so wish I knew what to do. Please tell | CONCERNED! | F | 68 | 10 months 20 | 11/18/2019 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Tightness in chest, nausea, indigestion, pain in eye and jaw and vision problems | Advised not to take if you have RA. | F | 72 | 14 days 1X day | 11/6/2019 | 4 | Osteoporosis..-2.5, -3.5, -2.7 | weird pains and cramps...nothing too alarming. However, I won't be taking the next step of Prolia. centerforhealthjournalism.org/2015/03/21/prolia-another-wonder-drug-wasnt | F | 73 | 9 months 1X day | 11/2/2019 | 3 | Ostoporosi | Lancinanti spasmi alla Siena e alle anche. Depressione, gambe doloranti, stati influenzali,tosse, perdita di appetito, stanchezza, | F | 62 | 1 years 20 MG | 10/19/2019 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Swelling, bruising, itching, short of breath, rapid heart rate that lasted for several hours ,nausea, dizziness, diarrhea , pain in back and leg | Bad reaction, did not work for me | F | 61 | 1 days 1X day | 10/19/2019 | 3 | Fractured Spine - Osteoprorosis | I am having pain in my legs and hips similar to child growth pains only at night while in bed. Also, when I turn my head on the pillow or while washing my face, etc., I get dizzy, kind of vertigo just for a moment. Had night sweats that have subsided. So, not sure if these symptons are from the Forteo, or possibly from the steroid injections for my back, or both. | M | 61 | 90 days 1X day | 9/20/2019 | 1 | Osteoporosis | I have had severe side effects including joint pain, muscle pain and spasms. They are sharp, stabbing, throbbing. I’ve lost mobility in my hands and fingers. My muscle strength has diminished. I’ve almost fallen due to the loss of muscle strength in my right ankle. Nausea has been present and my quality of life has diminished along with motivation. I have now stopped the injections now due to my Dr. request- it has been almost 2 weeks, and my side effects have still not disappeared. And I also suffered huge bruises in my abdomen from the injections. I am a Registered Nurse and find it hard to believe a simple sub q injection is able to cause 2 in in diameter bruising that is purple and a quarter sized knot at the injection site. This drug is horrible!! Do not take it! I foresee lawsuits over this drug. | Do not take this drug!! | F | 55 | 2 months 20 mcg 1X day | 7/22/2019 | 1 | osteoporosis | severe indigestion, gas, tired most of day, headache after injection and overall feeling of being unwell and unmotivated. I don't think I will continue unless side effects diminish. | I do not want to take this drug, but, the doctors told me it is what I need and all they can offer. I believe we are the subjects of a Forteo test and would not be surprised, with what I have read here, that someday there may be a class action suit against the drug company. That's sad to say, but what I feel. | F | 78 | 8 days 20 1X day | 7/1/2019 | 4 | Original dexascan was -7.5.

Not happy with the side effects as they affect my quality of life. | F | 61 | 5 months 30 | 4/6/2019 | 4 | Osteo | Bone pain | F | 68 | 2 months 600mg 1X day | 11/28/2018 | 4 | severe osteop | No side effects. Finishing up 2 yrs.. I don't have my final dexa report yet will post again once I find out if bones have improved. My feet have been painful for a while and I'm now wondering if forteo could be the cause??? I'll find out when I stop it soon. I was blaming foot pain on arthritis. It would be wonderful to see the pain go away. Feels like feet are bruised and makes walking a challenge. I never thought about forteo being the cause until I re-read some of these posts. But, it's probably arthritis. Now, Dr. wants me on Prolia after forteo, but I don't like what I'm reading about Prolia! WHY is there not something better for us???? | F | 65 | 2 days 20 mcg 1X day | 10/11/2018 | 1 | Fractured femur | Doc said I would feel pain like growing pains as a child. The pain was unbearable in my elbows and legs. I refused to take anymore and started high doses of magnesium. I'm much better and little pain. However, levaquin caused my osteopena and femur as well as foot fracture. I'll never take forteo or any other bone growth drug. Not worth the pain or risk of cancer. | 60 | 50 days Too much | 9/2/2018 | 1 | Severe osteo | Severe weight gain in stomach,severe depression, severe gurd, esophogus always on verge of no return,severe hot flashes,must stop drug | M | 59 | 16 months Normal | 7/30/2018 | 1 | osteoporisis | extreme fatigue, weight loss & raspyvoice | F | 75 | 5 months 30 mg 1X day | 6/23/2018 | 1 | Osteoporosis | High Blood Pressure ;never had before High heart rate (140) Extreme fatigue Throbbing knee and shin pain | Forteo unfortunately did not work for me!
