Forteo is a medicine that is given for Osteoporsis. I need to take a shot in my belly every day for 2 long years. After reading the side effects I told my Doctor I need to think about it. After asking other women who took it, the responses were negative. No benefit was achieved.
I need some input from the wonderful women on this site to help me with my decision. Any feedbacks are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi paced2live27 - Thanks for bringing your question and I hope you hear from women who've used this drug.
There are several threads related to drugs prescribed for this, including Forteo and Fosamax, which may interest you.
