I received a phone call from the Endocrinologist today. Seems that everything looks o.k. except my Vit. D level. It's low. Strange because I'm supplementing with Calcium plus D (Equate brand). I'm to take 2 months of a prescription Vit. D then she will start me on Forteo for my bone situation. This will be hard to get past my GP/Rheumatologist because he isn't a fan of Forteo. Not sure why. I asked his nurse about this and she said the drug rep they have now does not keep them supplied with the Forteo. I have private insurance and this drug is on the formulary so it shouldn't be a problem for me. Like Liza Jane, it will be a two year initial treatment with an injection every day. I'm not looking forward to this. I don't do well with sticking myself. I've done it before with Imitrex for migraines and I've also done a few of the Humira. But I have long since given it up to my husband to do for me,..... he seems to relish the thought of sticking a needle into me.
