Trying AlgaeCal instead of Prolia - Looking for provider support

@stubbornmom since you have a fracture, have you considered a bone builder like Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity? I had spinal fractures and chose Tymlos not only because it grows new bone but it helps healing.
Do you have an endocrinologist? My doctors would not prescribe Prolia in the context of fracture and in fact don't use it much at all due to the rebound effect when stopped. Prolia also affects the effectiveness of the bone building drugs so you could end up with only Reclast as an option once you stop.
I personally see AlgaeCal abnd Strontium boost as being legitimate options for osteopenia or perhaps for maintenance after meds. I have been told by Keith McCormick author of "Great Bones", that strontium works too slowly for those of us with fractures.
I hope you can go back to your doctor and discuss a bone builder! Do you have an endocrinologist?

I don't have an endocrinologist but I certainly will get one. I will also also look into the Forteo, Tymlos and Evenity. Thank you so much!
@windyshores many posts here indicate that strontium works well for themā¦just a word of caution: if you have kidney problems, itās not a good idea, stresses the kidneysā¦.check with docs if you canā¦the older we get , the more we have to balance the changes in our bodies, not easy.
@windyshores I donāt have an endocrinologist. I wish I did. I will ask for a referral. My GP frowned on AlgaeCal and I donāt know why..
Does Tymlos give you any side effects?

I know of a great naturopth, but he's in NH š Why do you need a doctor to give you permission though (I'm in Canada so we just do what we want!). You can buy it straight from Algaecal! š Strontium really bothers my stomach though, so I avoid it. I"m also going to start bio-ID hormones.
