Gently, Thank you very much for your answer. Forteo , Evenity , Tymlos they all have side effect -head ache. Practically I very lucky that I can take budesonide (only 1 pill instead 3 because of osteoporosis) and I was lucky with Prolia. It is a reason why I did not read about Prolia at all, to much troubles with other problems with my health. Head ache is constant and even sneezing gives much more head ache, simply sneezing in the morning. So head ache is main trouble for me.
Osteoporosis +I see only one solution for now . Take o.5 mg Reclast and it will be once a year. I do not know where to find a code for a small doses of Reclast as windyshoes does. I checked again and again , only this: Reclast is only administered once per 12 months, therefore, only one Reclast® claim should be submitted per year.
Medicare told me that my endocrinologist MUST call them on provider line but no responce from her.
I'd want to try a single injection instead of two at least for the firest month.+++ Your words
I do not understand them, explain ,please.

@whiteswan Reclast is an infusion. Evenity is an injection of two shots. Just to clarify for others.
Noone should take me as an example just yet. I do a low dose Reclast because of studies on afib and Reclast (I have afib) and kidney issues (GFR of 36). My doctor came up with the idea, not me. And low doses are taken more frequently, like every 3 months, though CTX testing to see if turnover is suppressed can delay them.
I have been told by MD and infusion nurse that doses of 22 mg (Full dose if 5mg) are not uncommon. I have been getting 1mg over an hours time.
I don't think you can get a dose as low as 0.5mg.
If you already have jaw necrosis (so sorry!), is any amount of Reclast safe? What does your endo say? Can you do Evenity which is a milder anti-resorptive? To help with rebound you might need a full dose of Reclast, who knows, but maybe docs will consider low dose every few months for a year, with monitoring to minimize dosage and frequency, as well as to monitor rebound, due to your jaw situation.
Tymlos would be great but I have read and been told that it is not effective right after Prolia, nor is Forteo. (See "Great Bones" by McCormick or Leder's videos on Youtube).
