@susanjane77 Prolia has a concerning rebound when stopped. You will have to do Reclast again to get off Prolia. Both are anti-resorptive so maybe bring an increased risk of atypical femur fracture or jaw necrosis with extended use.

Why does your doctor prefer Prolia vs Evenity. I hope you can ask about Evenity, Forteo or Tymlos after doing these years of Reclast. Evenity is also anti-resorptive in the latter half. All three will mean Reclast or Fosamax to lock in gains.

If your doctor wants Prolia after Reclast I would at least get a second opinion if possible. You could also consult with Keith McCormick, author of "Great Bones." My doctor, chair of endo at a major teaching hospital, doesn't use Prolia at all (unless absolutely no other option).

I asked why Prolia versus Evenity or others. His responded that he saw better results with Prolia. Now, after reading how many do not like Prolia and the side effects are experiencing….i am beginning to question his choice.
How does one consult with Keith McCormick?

Anyone taking Prolia that like it?

Thanks for the response. Appreciate it.
