Yes I do Annie. I was diagnosed about 9 years ago. Like so many others I was given fosomax/alendronate for the maximum of 5 years. Then forteo for 2 years. After that 1 year of Evenity . I have had 1 shot of Prolia and will do 1 more. I July I am seeing another endocrinologist to see if he will recommend a short/light infusion of reclast then another bone builder like tymlos, forteo or evenity. I don't feel ready at 77 to stay on Prolia for the rest of my life. I'd like to see if he thinks this might work for me. My sequence of drugs is not something I would repeat if I had had more knowledge. In retrospect I would have started with a a bone builder rather than a bisphosphonate which can impede the work of bone builders. I also started bhrt about 8 months ago but not because I thought it would have much positive impact on my bones. If it helps great but I do not believe that it will mean I don't have to continue with osteoporosis meds. I have not really had side effects with any med. Any aches I consider to be the medication doing its job. Good luck to you.
