Thank you so much, lynn56!
I too am now in Ontario, and will be 73 next week. My G.P. has been slow out of the blocks, in getting my ducks in a row; but am now making progress in getting ready for 18 April.
My paperwork is now in, and I will see the pharmacist on Tuesday. So hopefully, I will get some direction of which medication I will qualify for [we should have answers by then regarding Forteo or the Osnuvo] I was originally told that the Forteo was $4,000/month.
I too have not had any vertebral fractures, but have had many serious chest infections since starting the Prolia, and was on, unsuccessfully other drugs prior to Prolia. My specialists, Rheumatologist and Respirologist both agree that getting off of Prolia is necessary.
I get on a soapbox about insurance companies and government telling doctor's what they can and cannot order ! I am waiting for my specialist to return from holiday so he can order the CTX and P1NP, as the GP cannot order that, only a specialist. So I am hopeful of getting all of this together before the 18th.
Thanks so much for your input.
