Has this happened to you? BMD declines with both Prolia and Evenity

That's very interesting. I just saw a Naturopathic doctor who advised the same thing. When I stopped my thyroid medication for a week due to unavailability, I literally tanked in energy. Having my blood work done tomorrow to test my thyroid, but wondering what you did in alternative. You would think Endocrinologists would know this. I've been to two and neither mentioned it.

Yes, you would. 🙁

General practitioners and an endocrinologist missed how my old-school prescription issued 50 years ago was unecessary and harmful.

I uncovered it in my own research and find Google Scholar invaluable. Unfortunately, I've found many physicians' knowledge has not been current on an array of subjects, and it has been unusual for me to find one open to new information from a patient.

In my case,
even an endocrinologist suggested a medication withdrawal schedule that did not comply with standards.

As I recall, I advocated to reduce the hormones by a slight anount every few months. The doctor followed each reduction with a thyroid panel.

I believe I found the every few months time-line recommendation from the Society of Endocrinology. Although, I've read that it takes 4-6 weeks for thyroid hormone medication to exit the system.

I wish you the best!
