I've been reading about all of those now taking forteo. I am 54 years old and I've been taking forteo for close to 18 months now. Although my doctor advocated and perscribed it he doesn't seem to know a great deal about it. I'm due to have a bone density test done upon my next visit in Feb./March of next year. I haven't had any side effects except the aches in my hips and legs that many other have experienced. I have wondered about whether or not skipping doses for say a week or two would have any ill effects. I know for instance skipping blood pressure medication etc... is never recommended, but what about Forteo? Vacation, without taking along the forteo pack would be a joy...
