Evenity worked for me: Why I chose medication for osteoporosis

No, I'm not seeing anyone. I am very scared to take those meds...because, if I'm not mistaken, once you start you can't stop or every gain is lost....Thank you for your kind responses and sharing your journey...

@catdogcarrie your posts make me worried that you are making decisions with false or insufficient information.
You are already losing bone density without meds and yes if you stop meds you lose bone, just as you are now. Reclast actually stays in bones a long time and people stop or take breaks all the time. Prolia is the only one with rebound that results in losing gains.
You are worse off without meds, than with, in other words. I am on this forum because I have 7 spinal fractures and am here to say they are painful, disabling, life-altering.
You need an endocrinologist. Many people take these meds with few or no side effects. There are ways to make them more tolerable. You CAN stop meds for a time, maybe even for a long time, with proper monitoring- after "lcoking in" gains with bisphosphonates. You are losing bone now!
