Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

I was informed that once I start Prolia, I will be on it forever. 2 shots a year. No going back on Reclast as I reached the amount of infusions recommended.
I could take a drug holiday for one year but I rather not. Since I can only get DEXA test every 2 years, I don’t know if a drug holiday would make matters worse.
I won’t consider Evenity as it is a shot every month and my doctor saw better results with Prolia.
There is so much to consider and it is overwhelming to me. Fortunately, I have not experienced any fractures and I hope to keep it that way.

@susanjane77 could you ask about doing a few months of Evenity (the anabolic phase) before going on Prolia? I have no idea but it might be something to ask about.
@susanjane77 hi i too was terrified of evenity and really all of the meds. I am 7 mo Evenity i wish I could take another 12 months of it. Side effects mild slight cough annoying is all some time few, and insomnia. Cuz had in may 6 months ago l4l5 fusion with rods and screws. I had min invasive robotic at mayo Rochester mn. No pain now and very little pain after first 3 weeks. Only Tylenol after 2 weeks. I don't want the pain and sickness that comes with reclast. Terrified of it. I have had COPD BAD LUNGS FOR 30 YEARS. NEVER SMOKED BUT PARENTS DID AROUND US. I WAS BORN PREMATURE 3 MO WEIGHED 2 LBS BORN. SCARED OF THE RESPIRATORY SIDE EFFECTS. I ALSO HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES. DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT WOULD U DO. I GOT 2 BAD KNEES REPLACED 14 TEARS AGO . CANT LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS OR STOMP. FUSION NOT HEALED YET WONT BE IN FEB EITHER WHEN THEY WANT ME TO BE ON RECLAST. ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN ENDO FROM MAYO ROCHESTER MN?

I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to a new endocrinologist on Monday 8-19-24. I mentioned to her that I had serious side effects from a Reclast infusion. She immediately went into a discussion of taking calcium and vitamin D. Yeah. Been doing that for years. I even had a list of my side effects on a piece of paper in my hand. She didn't even ask to see it. And before I could show it to her she was packing up her notes and getting ready to leave the exam room. On the way out I asked my boy friend if she had said anything about Reclast. I thought I missed something. He said "No. She hadn't mentioned Reclast." I was the only one who mentioned it. She had no comment. And that was the reason I was going to her...to get some answers regarding Reclast. Strange. What are these docs afraid of?
