Hi to all,

Bluebonnet242, no, I didn't do anything special. I take two Citracal tablets with vitamin D every day, no other supplements, and do some low-impact exercises for those nasty spinal conditions--stretching, modified planks and wall pushups, some easy core exercises like sit-to-stand, and some others. And I try to walk for anywhere between 35 and 50 minutes a day in my apartment, with the aid of a cane; it varies depending on how quickly the pain becomes a problem. I try to do all this stuff maybe five times a week. But these exercises were given to me by a physical therapist for the spinal problems and not by my endocrinologist.

No idea whether the Fosamax helped avoid the Prolia-to-Tymlos problem. I had to stop it because it made my GERD much, much worse, even though the gastro guy didn't find anything alarming when he did an upper endoscopy. I was just too miserable to stay on it, and the compression fracture kind of sealed the deal.

This is the most complicated business to live with, isn't it?

Adam08, I'm like you. I take the shot every evening at around the same time and just sort of do it on automatic pilot. Takes maybe a minute.

This is such a complicated disease to manage, isn't it? I wonder why, after all these years, there are still so many questions about how to handle it.
