Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

Thanks Windy.

My neighbor took a RECLAST infusion. She was very very ill for a week or so. Then, she continue to throw up for next month!

A maybe silly question from a relative newbie but what about following up Tymlos with Prolia?

@guinevere Great question and I believe some people are doing that. My doctors don't use Prolia unless absolutely necessary and hesitate for me due to my lupus.

But some on here, and McCormick, are saying that with 1-3 shots, the rebound can be handled well with a bisphosphonate. Prolia does bring increases in bone density but rebound can reverse those if not followed up with Reclast (or alendronate ( if only 1-3 Prolia shots according to McCormick and others).

I have a friend in her mid-80's who is taking Prolia for life so depending on age, that is an option that makes stopping with rebound unlikely.

I did Evenity after Tymlos but only 4 months, then Reclast. I am apparently the only patient in both my endos' offices doing that but others on this forum and someone in a masterclass I attended with Lani Simpson were doing that sequence.,

We need so much research and years of experience with these drugs, the various combinations and sequences. My choices are mainly guided by what I can tolerate!

How interesting that responses not involving pharmaceuticals are erased! Talk about shortchanging a patient!
Shame on you Mayo

Hi, I had a life imparing drug reaction (SJS) at age 4.5
I go as natural as I can.
Such as high quality calcium intake & vita D3 with MK7.
For decades we have been ingesting vita D with no MK7 to direct it's proper destination, our bone. Otherwise the D may just as well have dropped the calcium off into arteries or organs or wherever.
Curiously I've yet to see the medical industrial complex share MK7 secret. I do read what a killer arterial calcification is though, hmmm.

Erased? There is plenty that I've found

blowsmeaway,
Mayo Connect wants to be careful about not giving direct advice. You can say "this is what I do," or "you might try this." Then you can write about "natural" supplements and how successful they've been for you. While some decide on that direction, others decide on pharmaceuticals. Both are risky and some in each direction pay consequences.
Your experience with SJS makes a valuable caution here.
If your post has been erased, it would be a service to repost as personal experience.

@blowsmeaway2 you seem rather negative by your two posts? This site is member driven and except for inappropriate posts I don’t think it’s monitored by anyone from Mayo other than volunteer mentors. You say you had a drug reaction when you were 4 & 1/2? Why bring it up now? And concerning MK7/K2 please read!

Sorry but that certainly wasn't me!!!
