High anxiety regarding Reclast or Prolia decison for OP meds

I am 73 with osteoporosis and having to make this very difficult decision about medications also. I’m extremely worried about all the side effects with Prolia. I have decided not to do that one but wondering what is the best alternative with the least side effects. I do not handle medications well and try to stay away from them as much as possible. After years of being healthy I have been hit with one health issue after another and since my husband passed away and I have no children I’m very worried about making this decision by myself. Thanks so much for any advice you can give me!

deuie, I completely agree with your fear of Prolia. May I suggest that you look at Forteo. It's been around awhile. If you have a reaction to it, that reaction is limited usually to four hours. It is an easy medication to quit. And it builds the very best bone.

I am 70 and am having to make the decision also to use Evenity or Forteo. Years ago I used Fosomax and it caused me to have jaw bone problems and so I had to stop using it. Now I’m worried about side effects from using these new drugs. I’ve also thought of using Fortibone which is a natural collagen peptides that is supposed to help bones grow. There is a study using it and it did help. Most women do better bone growth with a drug rather than natural is what I have seen.
