   Need friends that understand (Osteoporosis board)

8th March 2006
If you are sure it is the Forteo because you weren't experiencing these problems before starting Forteo then why not talk to your doctor about pamidronate (Aredia) infusions? It is "just" a 2 hour long IV every 3, 4 or 6 months.

Pamidronate is a bisphosphonate like Actonel and Fosamax but because it is infused rather than an oral mediation the GI tract is bypassed and the GI upset and/or damage avoided. The infusions are usually done at a hospital outpatient clinic where they do chemotherapy infusions, Remicade infusions, etc.

Good luck and God bless.
