With those numbers at your age I don't think you have much choice, sadly. -2.5 is officially osteoporosis. My doctor told me that older osteoporosis patients sometimes fracture their bones merely by turning over in bed. As to Fosamax v. Prolia all I can say is that Fosamax gave my mother severe jaw problems, so I am biased. Others will be in a better position to comment.

I got a rash when I took Fosamax

Re all the bad possibilities of numbers like mine at my age (86), I am doing pretty well considering. I am single (divorced my ex eons ago) & have run a cat rescue here for almost 20 years. I have 9 in my house, some of whom sleep with me regularly. I have always wanted a magical genie to come do the litter boxes but so far none has appeared
I also have had COPD for a while, maybe 6 years. Osteoporosis is my latest gift & one I would very much like to return!
I have only fallen once, about a year ago,& fractured a bone in my wrist which hurts on occasion & then I wear that bionic looking brace for a while & things are better.
I live in Wisconsin on a little Wisconsin River village where there is a place right next to the river that serves wonderful macaroni & cheese & dark beer. I am going to head out there now!
