How many of you improved your osteoporosis without drug intervention?

@annar please let us know if you have had the common "acute phase reaction" (can last a few weeks) which tends not to recur.

For anyone with significant osteoporosis I am wondering why Reclast is being chosen but I may be missing some of the story.

For some, hydration, longer infusion, tylenol and even lower dose of Reclast can help avert the acute phase reaction.

I am sensitive to meds but have been able to make Tymlos, Evenity and now Reclast work for me by making some adjustments with my doctor, mainly in dosing. But with fractures I do not have the choice to stick to diet and exercise!

If low potassium, fainting esophagitis and acute colitis are conditions of acute phase reaction. Then that’s what happened to me. My pcp seems to think so
I have no bone fractures. My endocrinologist only suggested reclast might not be the best choice because it works slowly. Never was there a mention of this side effect. I chose it because I read about how few side effects there are. I appreciate the need for these drugs, but I guess I made the wrong choice. I just hope I can get healthy again soon. I am now 100 lbs. not great for a 64 yr old.
With osteoporosis. I’m terrified!! Thank you for chatting about this with me
