I need to apologize. I was on Fosamax for about 8 weeks. I had diarrhea and nausea and I was taken off it because of that. It was for brief period that it slipped my mind. I am unable to change the original post to include this information. I do not have arthritis or fracture.
Yes, the FRAX score is for major osteoporotic fracture. My doctor wants me to go on Reclast. I am a bit nervous about it because of the side effects. My friend went through couple of weeks of suffering.

Windyshores has many comments on prolia on this forum. Mainly it's very hard to get off it after 2-3 doses, unless you take it for life and without any ill effects. It's preferred to start with a bone building or anabolic drug (forteo, tymlos or evenity) first before switching to a bisphosphonate to lock in the gains in bone density. There are ppl with milder osteoporosis doing very well just being on a bisphosphonate for many many years. But for each individual, one wouldnt know if one belongs to that group. You were on fosamax only for a short period of time, likely going on a anabolic would work for you.
