Hi
I had to go off Raloxifene to start Prolia for declining bone mass density. Prolia worked at first but then I had a rebound and lost everything I had gained and more. I had stopped Reclast after a full course of infusions. I went from osteopenia to osteoporosis. I was 58 years old. I moved from Massachusetts to Florida, and began exercising outside. Tennis lessons, walking, pickleball, water aerobics. (I’m no natural athlete!!) my osteoporosis began to change back to osteopenia and I continue to build bone mass. Pretty surprising.
Despite my double mastectomy last year, my bone mass continues to improve.

Thank you for your reply. This is my concern-that raloxifene will not be effective or not effective enough. On top of the switch from Prolia, I did procrastinate for about a month before starting this daily oral medication because I wanted to address the issue with supplements, diet and exercise. This was before I was reading Mayo Connect.

I see my endocrinologist early April. Not officially eligible for a scan until September but I believe it will be covered if she orders it to be done sooner. Will update when I know more.

Thanks again,
Cindy
