Yes, I realize once one begins treatment of osteoporosis, especially as bad as mine, you continue from drug to drug. I have no choice but to stay on one of these drugs due to the T12 wedge compression fracture that has thrown my life and retirement plans upside down. Reading about Prolia gives me nightmares. Thanks for suggesting Reclast having the ability to start with a smaller dose. My body demands this. I will discuss with my doctors after the Evenity six month check. I plan to ask about an estrogen patch. The side effects can't be any worse than the current drugs. The large study on postmenopausal women staying on hormones was later found to be flawed. As I am sure some of these bone meds will be in the distance future.

I get it. I have 7 spinal fractures. My first was T12. If yours was recent, take heart, things can improve. I recently walked 16 miles in two days.

I don't know if estrogen will hold gains from Evenity. I have not seen any info on that. I had hormonal breast cancer so that option is not one I have looked into. And estrogen is not recommended if we are over 60. SERM's like raloxifene are a possibility without the cancer risk.

Reclast lasts a long time in the body. We may be able to take drug holidays with monitoring. My hope is that drug holidays can be lengthy along with some more holistic maintenance as well.
