Me, too. I'm scheduled for my 6th shot in 2 weeks. Not going to get it due to side effects I have had. I researched and found Dr Doug show on utube. He is very involved and updated on osteoporosis drugs. He recommended anabolic drug if any, coming off Prolia. I'm looking into it now. My resources are so limited where I live.

I have watched lots of Dr Doug also look up the Bone guru Dr Keith McCormick who has recently written a book on Bones. It took him 2 years to write with 1200 references. He had multiple fractures at age 40, hence his dedication to bone health. I think his book is available on Amazon and l expect he discusses anabolic versus bisphophonates. Good luck to all of us who took this dreadful drug. I have had 4 injections but l think l will have to have zoledronic acid to counteract the rebound effect. But need to negotiate to have 2g not 4g, then 2g 6 months later, and to have it infused over a longer period of time. Xx

I have checked my research. Dr McCormick says that if your s ores ate - 4 or - 4.1 or - 4.2 you should have an anabolic, which build bones, as anti resorption drugs are not good enough. He says it's like plastering density onto a poor foundation.
Also can you get a TBS, which is a Trabecular score, as with smaller women, the Bone Density can look worse.
He says we must fast before a DEXA scan and have it as early as possible, to get the most accurate reading. I was never told that. X
