Myasthenia gravis, now severe osteoporosis &supposed to start forteo shots daily! i'm scared as i don't want mg flare. do u foresee any risks?

No: Don't see any unusual risk from Forteo because of MG. It is important for you to get your osteoporosis treated since a major fracture will be devastating to someone who already has problem with muscle strength.
