Hello formisc,
So sorry, I had answered under the wrong classification, so best to re-write this !
So here is my update from my 13 March appointment.
Apparently, my rhuematologist sent my GP a letter suggesting stopping the Prolia due to on-going infections and respiratory history [which is long] and to start Forteo. Should mention my rhuemy is also an internal medicine specialist.
To stress the point of on-going chest infections since the start of Prolia, I took ill again on 03 March, with ER treatment required.[Was seen by another respirologist there, who concurred with my regular respirologist].
I am now home and after a regime of 3 antibiotics and my regular antibiotic, I am improving ! Once back to 'normal' I will commence Forteo. [I am set for another round of pulmonary function tests after another 3 weeks and respirologist appointments, which will occur before the Forteo shot commences].
Apparently, Forteo has less infection complications and is indicated for steroid induced osteoporosis. Looks like the better choice.
I have yet to get my baseline bloodwork, but will do so when feeling a bit better.
Again thanks to you and others for your expertise and wonderful support in this - you were the trigger to get this 'ball rolling'.
Your happy Connect Buddy!
