After re-reading my initial response to our thread and follow-on responses, I can see I choose some words poorly and even discounted member experiences. That was wrong. The member feedback is very valuable and new users looking to gain knowledge should learn from their experiences.

The point I was and am trying to make (this is where I push all in) is that osteoporosis medication adverse events are rare. When reading posts on this and others forums, that likely have significantly more postings of people experiencing problems than not, could give you the impression that there is a high likelihood of having an adverse event. My response was addressing the members comment “Prolia and Reclast have so much bad press…don’t know what to take”. In actuality, both Prolia and Reclast have very few adverse events in both trials and real world treatments as compared to the number of people taking the drug. I’m not saying you won’t have an adverse event, but that they are rare.

During the World Congress of Osteoporosis that happen last weekend, Dr. Serge Ferrari discussed the adverse events over the 10 years of the Denosumab (Prolia) Freedom trial. I will create a separate posting with the findings for both atypical fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Again, sorry that we are not connecting on this one. Mike
