Come on, you're retired. Finding original source material is fun! But I hear you, I hate having to take any drug but sometimes it's a necessary evil. Sometimes you get boxed in a corner. I don't work for or get paid by pharmaceutical companies, but I do enjoy the science behind the drug actions and how they work. It's fascinating. You should get your genome decoded if you really want to be blown away 🙂

Sorry Michael. I do not consider this fun....more like crawling over broken glass....Forced to get involved when, based on improved DEXA score after 2 injections, my PCP advised stopping Prolia COLD TURKEY.

Thanx to Connect I knew this was not right..... found an NIH summary on studies about Prolia follow-up that I sent to my doctor who actually read it and put me on Fosomax immediately. That was a year ago in May.

Now the question is how long do I stay on Fosomax. Having no side effects. No biomarkers have ever been taken or discussed. Lots of info provided in this thread and I am grateful.

I appreciate your contribution to this fine thread initiated by formisc who also included of a veritable reference library. Thank you formisc.

Will have to do lots of reading....which is challenging as I am traveling out of the country and finding the internet is at present often iffy.

So when I am connected I will download the studies referenced and review them when I would prefer to consider the use of Islamic architectural elements in the built environment of colonial Spain and to refine my volley so that this 74 year old body can try to stay competitive on a tennis court. That is fun for me.

I am ever so impressed and grateful for those of you who are fascinated by all of this and willing to share and discuss with others.
