Osteoporosis
"I was prescribed Forteo because of early-onset osteoporosis Plus a rare hereditary bone density disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I./brittle bone disease). At time prescribed, I had a seriously broken arm that DR said would take &quot;a long time to heal&quot;, but the Forteo sped up the process as predicted. I&#039;ve only taken Forteo 2 or 3 months but haven&#039;t had another fracture. If you don&#039;t have fantastic presciption insurance then you need to skip Forteo because it costs appx. $3500+ per month/per pen and that&#039;s obviously well above 95% of people&#039;s budget!  The med was easy to use and to inject. I felt very little to no discomfort. Don&#039;t be intimidated by the glucose- blood-test-sized-ultra-tiny needles."
