Thank you, I need the blessings and wisdom. You'd think there would be some sort of consensus to follow. My Rheumatologist could be right although he never talked about the differences of antiresorptive and anabolic medications. But then again, I feel the Endocrinologist might have more experience in treating osteoporosis. LOL. I keep changing my mind.

I can relate. I was thrilled to be approved for Tymlos and have been on it for about a week with no significant side effects. I should be on it for the next two years and then we will see! My osteo specialist made no mention of following with Prolia in my case, but mentioned some other possible options when the time comes…..I have also learned from this site that there is no one size fits all, but a lot of good info is definitely shared here by people who have gone before!

@Michele many of our doctors don't explain antiresorptive vs anabolic or much else unless we ask. That is why we read, watch videos and come on this forum!
The fact that bisphosphonates stay in the system for a long time is why there is no rebound and why it is used to "lock in" gains from other meds.
For early osteoporosis people tend to do either holistic methods of Fosamax. For my doctors Prolia has fallen out of favor and they don't use it much.
