Do you feel like lab rat!?

Hi folks,
The reason for asking about feeling like a Lab Rat, is I have started on a new drug treatment
for osteoporosis called teriparatide. It is given as a daily subcutaneous injection under
the skin. Been on the stuff now for 2 weeks, but as with all drugs there are side affects!
Well I did ask the consultant about potential side effects, but you always get the usual answer back. Oh! not everyone will have any problems taking the drug.
This treament is new, so if anyone else on this junk, please could you give me an unbiased opinion.
Then it would help me understand what to expect.
Kindest Regards
Sob

Tar for the advise, just wanted to know if anyone else had this drug?
