Both my previous and current doc felt that Prolia was the first line of defense in the OP battle after Tymlos and Evenity @windyshores. I don’t like the idea that Prolia only stunts the growth of osteoclasts and stopping the drug causes those mad little buggers to come roaring back in large fashion and breaking down bone at an even faster rate. That and the idea that I’ll need to have the meds every six months f-o-r-e-v-e-r (or until another “wonder drug” comes along”) was making me unhappy. By the way, my previous doc pretty much told me I’d be taking Prolia, or maybe Reclast . . . without offering any explanation as to the what’s, why’s and wherfore’s.

I finally found a doc who takes my opinion into consideration and that’s a win for me. He listened to my Prolia objections carefully, did his due diligence - spoke to colleagues, lab work, x-rays . . . and based on every bit of knowledge he can summon, including my past reactions to Reclast, agreed to one (or possibly two) infusions to see how things go; I had the last infusion 2021 so I’ve had a drug holiday of about 3-1/2 years.

Let’s face it, we are in uncharted territory here friends, trying to navigate with a broken compass to get safely to the leeward side of OP.

Have a great week, y’all. Cheers!
