Spotty-thank you for the kind words.

Why won't your doctor write a presecription to continue the Forteo? My doctor, Stuart Silverman, in Beverly Hills, Ca. is a top doctor and a osteo specialist. He is the one who told me that Forteo can be continued after 2 years.

The Boniva did not bother my stomach at all. Since it is given IV it gets directly into the system. Will your doctor give you the IV Bomiva?

If you took Fosamax and only had stomach problems then Boniva would probably be fine for you since they are the same class of drug.

Seems like your options are IV Boniva or continue Forteo. Can you find some literature to give to your doctor about continuing Forteo or see another doctor?

I hope that you can resolve this quickly. I know it's so frustrating when you're trying to be proactive and preserve what you have and it's a battle against a doctor. Doesn't make sense!

Best wishes!
