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.

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?
