@cobalt can you do Reclast? Generally we have been told to do a bisphosphonate to deal with Prolia rebound but there was some info on one thread here that Evenity helped maintain and even grow bone a small amout (2.3% as I remember) after Prolia. That was a study that may not yet be in practice but if you have no alternatives, maybe your doctor would try it, I have read ("Great Bones") and been told (doctors, and Ben Leder's video on YouTube on Combining and Sequencing Approaches) that Forteo and Tymlos are not good choices after Prolia. So what's left? If you cannot take bisphosphonates, then Evenity is the only one left. (That may have been one small study, so ask your doctor...the link is on this thread https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/high-anxiety-regarding-reclast-or-prolia-decison-for-op-meds/?pg=2#comment-1126992)

The doctor I have is very pessimistic that I have any effective options since I can’t take a drug in the fossamax/alendronate type and I can’t afford Prolia. The best I could do is stop Prolia after the first time so there is a smaller loss. As I understand it, it woukd be far worse to stop Prolia if I’d taken it 3-4 times over - few years. I’m collecting options here so I have notes to ask the doctor about. Right now he requested extensive bloodwork before he makes a recommendation.
