Thoughts on Prolia?

sbcher,
the horror stories about Prolia are genuinely horrible. Still, it does work for some patients. Evenity is presented as an anabolic though after the first three month it works as an antiresorptive. It also works for some. And I'm glad you didn't have side effects with Evenity. Not as bad as Prolia, but long terms sometimes and very painful.
I would advise asking your doctor for Forteo, because it has been good for me. Still some have bad effect and for some it just doesn't increase BMD.
You might as your doctor for bone markers, so that you don't spend another day or dollar on a drug that isn't effective. P1NP and CTX before your next medication and one month in, then every three months thereafter. These tests are serum markers and easy to understand.

Thank you so much for your input. As you know all of these drugs have side effects. I'm going to read into Forteo.

Happy to hear its working for you!

Take care, Cheryl
