Should You Take Forteo or Tymlos for Osteoporosis? - The Truth about Synthetic Parathyroid Hormones

[@marciasmith1048]

Excellent, very informative. Thank you!

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

I am so glad to hear that it is helpful ❤

[@lindalemke2411]

I’m going to start taking Forteo soon since I’ve had two fractures. I’ve changed my lifestyle but I seem to need more. I am a 77 yr old friend.

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

Everyone's body is a bit different and how we respond to things is also different. Hopefully taking medication will be just what your body needs and get you going in a positive direction with bone health ❤

That was so interesting, i was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 1015, I was 59 at that time and was very upset , I didn’t know anything about the medication , but put it off because of the cost, I live in Australia and it was going to cost $5,000.00 every 6 months, it’s now much cheaper. But after a bit of research I decided not to have it, there are lots of reasons, but I have heard it can kill your jaw bone, and lots of ladies where waking up in pain with a broken femur after being on it for 2 years. 15 years ago I had a thyroid storm and was diagnosed with graves disease, I took medication for 18 months which so far cured it, but I believe now that it was that medication that gave me osteoporosis😮 and I wasn’t told it could and it was another 10 years before I was given a dexa scan, so I believe if I’d been better informed I could have done more to help it from getting so bad. Now I’m hearing that the radiation from a dexa scan isn’t good for my bones :( Have you heard about a R.E.M. scan? Which do you think I’d better?

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

I am so sorry to hear aobut your experience! I have a sister-in-law that also has Graves disease and osteoporosis. The medication that she has been given does contribute to bone loss. I wish that medical providers would talk to people about potential side effects and other medical conditions that can arise from taking medications. I think REM scans are insightful and a good thing. If you can get one, go for it ❤ They just aren't readily available yet. Dexa is a good first gauge even though REMS scans are better.

[@diananighswonger441]

wow, sorry that happened to you all. the FDA AND STUPID DRUG COMPANIES DONT CARE IF THEY MAKE ANYONES LIFE BETTER OR WHAT KIND OF SIDE EFFECTS ARE FROM THEIR POISON DRUGS, ALL THEY CARE IS LETS OUT IT IN A PEN AND CHARGE ,7000, 8000 OR MORE A MONTH AND THEN LETS NOT LET MEDICARE RECIPIENTS HAVE ANY MANUFACTURER COUPONS OR GET ANY HELP FROM A DRUG ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? WE ARE ON LOWER FIXED INCOME NOW WHY SHOULD THIS BE. WE ALL NEED TO WRITE CONGRESSMAN IN OUR STATES AND DONALD TRUMP. HE WILL LISTEN. I HAVE WRITTEN HIM MULTIPLE TIMES. HE ANSWERS MAYBE LATER BUT HE HAS ANSWERED ME ALL BUT ONE TIME. IT HELPS. PLEASE WE ALL NEED TO DO SOMETHING. FDA IS ALSO RELEASING THESE DRUGS TOO DAM SOON AND NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND WHAT THOSE ARE, OVERWEIGHT, MAYBE, DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE HIGH CHOLESTEROL, HIGH BLOOD SUGAR, SO WHY SHOULD THEY MAKE DRUGS THAT CAUSE HEART RACING WHO WANTS TO DO THAT. I READ SOME REVIEWS OF PATIENTS ON TYMLOS AND TERIPARTIDE, THE HEART RACING DIDNT ALWAYS GO AWAY OR SEVERE HEADACHES OR SEVERE BACK ACHES OR SEVERE JOINT PAIN. ETC NAUSEA VOMITING, DICK LIKE FLU, ETC AND HAIR FALLING OUT AND WEIGHT GAIN BUT OH YEAH THEY DIDNT HAVE THAT IN THE TRIAL BUT NOW ITS A SUDE EFFECT IN THE REAL WORLD. HOW ARE THEY SKEWING THESE TRIALS SO THEY CAN PUSH DRUGS THRU THEN PAY DOCTORS TO PUSH THEM TO US AND THEY MAKE US SICK AND TIRED CANT ENJOY LIFE. THEY ALSO CAUSED LONG INSOMNIA FOR SOME LADIES DIDNT GO AWAY IN FEW DAYS OR WEEKS. WE NEED TO WRITE SO PEOPLE CAN DO SOMETHING AND CARE ABOUT MEDICARE PEOPLE AND ALL PEOPLE.

Thank you for all your informative videos. Tomorrow I’m going to add more calcium rich food to my diet. I’ve already increased relevant exercises. My 1 year goal is no fractures (I’m 74), no falls and much better posture. Miracle not expected

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

Improving posture and moving safely have the potential to really make a difference with fractures. Adding calcium will help build stronger better bones long term. I have a client who had a series of fractures and is now moving into three years of no fractures. You can totally get to the year mark with no fractures ❤

[@daysoftheboo]

For people who got osteoporosis from disordered eating , under eating , over exercising, not getting enough nutrition, and long-term amenorrhea how does this affect the parathyroid? And does the parathyroid recover as soon as you start eating more nutritious? If you build bone density after years of disordered eating by now eating more healthy taking supplements weight-bearing exercises will the parathyroid along with the bones get better too?

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

This is something that I don't know the answer to. I did some preliminary looking and this scientific article is the best fit so far: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7078244/ Lenherr-Taube N, Trajcevski K, Sochett E, Katzman DK. Low PTH Levels in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa. Front Pediatr. 2020 Mar 11;8:99. doi: 10.3389/fped.2020.00099. PMID: 32219087; PMCID: PMC7078244. I think this is an important enough topic that I can see doing some research about it and exploring it further. I wish I were more helpful right away with this...

[@daysoftheboo]

@@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem it's okay you're very helpful 🙏🏻 you provide much more important information than even doctors I never knew what a parathyroid was until I was diagnosed two years ago not even in health class in school was the parathyroid ever mentioned I've always heard the thyroid being talked about but never the parathyroid

[@lindareed7864]

I enjoyed your video! I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am confused as what to do. The nutritionist at the doctor's office stated that I was too far gone for nutrition to help. I am curious as to your view on such a comment. I am also interested in any programs that you offer?

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

I am so glad you enjoyed this video, but am so sorry to hear about your experience at the doctor's office with nutrition. I think working on nutrition is always going to be helpful inculding with osteoporosis. The nutrtionist may think you need to take medication and that nutrition on its own is not enough- I am not really sure about that part. Everyone's situation is different and to some degree so is what is causing a person's bone loss. Whether nutrition and exercise can reverse osteoporosis without medication really depends on a person's individual circumstances. For some people that may be enough and for others not. There could be a hormone issue, a medical issue, a genetic predisposition, or a nutritional deficiency... There are a lot of complicated things to consider theat effect how things go for a person. Everyone's situation is different and their potential outcomes are also different, but I firmly believe there are things each of us can do that will make a positive difference for our bone health. Saying that you are too far gone for nutrition to help is not accurate. That would be a bit like saying "whoops, I ate chocolate cake for breakfast and then had an ice cream sundae today, I guess I can't eat better tomorrow and I will have to keep eating the same way forever." We could all choose to eat better tomorrow in that situation and it would help to nourish our bodies better. Improving nutrition will help... I offer a monthly membership that is focused on exercise for better bone health. It has a mixture of pre-recorded classes and I also teach live at three different levels every Tuesday. Those classes are recorded and also end up in the membership portal. I also have a nutrition course that I sell. It is my goal to help people create a bone building lifestyle in a way that also fits their lives and goals. The membership is small and so are live classes. I do my best to really be available to answer questions and to provide help. If you want to set up a zoom to ask questions with no obligation email me and let's talk. My email is [e-mail]

[@juliepomp5843]

Thank you for your understandable explanation of the parathyroid, Tymlos and Forteo. I've been considering using collagen with Forteo. Do you consider that safer than prescription strength?

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

Julie, that is an interesting question. Do you know the quality of the supplement you would be taking? That is a really important question to know the answer to becuase supplements are not regulated in the United States. The other thing to consider is how will maintain your gains after you stop taking the supplement? Would you then take a prescription medication to stop bone loss? I can see some potential benefits of taking a collagen Forteo supplement at a lower dose than presciption level, but I would makes ure you have clarification about your plan moving forward before making a firm choice ❤

[@HelenMorelli]

Thank you for your informative video. I just started taking Forteo, and hadn't heard that it can cause heart related issues long term. Do you have the sources for that information, and could you share them? I would like to take them to my doctor. Thank you!

[@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem]

Yes, here are a couple of sources to bring to your doctor's attention. Keep in mind that just because it can happen doesn't mean that it will happen.
