Thank you for responding and sharing your experiences. I've read some many published studies on Prolia and Reclast, I'm just exhausted. Like @windyshores stated, there comes a time to just put down the books and close the computer. It is truly draining. I've been focusing my reading on the adverse reactions of Prolia and Reclast. In my opinion, the women who will be taking these drugs are not being told what is happening in the real world. It seems the studies often reflect the same reactions occurring in both the drug group and the placebo group, at about the same percentage. How can that be! Mind you, not all the studies I've read do I see this, but I've seen enough to raise a red flag. My 11th injection of Evenity is tomorrow. I have to make this next drug decision asap.
I had barely any reaction to Evenity - piece of cake. No reaction to Forteo either. But a full dose of Reclast in my tiny little body might be another story!

@255anny , the subjects in a clinical trial were carefully selected according to predetermined criteria for study purposes in reaching a meaningful conclusion. That cohort will be different from a real life population - some of whom have one or more disease states that might amplify unwanted side effects of the drug, or even present with an adverse effect that was unknown during a trial. It might be better to focus on the list of adverse effects that the manufacturer provided, which most likely to occur if you are more or less resembling the study cohort, and using personal counts or experiences from fellow patients as an added reference.

@255anny if you did well with Forteo and Evenity, that's great, and maybe you will also do well with Reclast! Let us know!
