Hi anniez1943, it took me a little while to even make myself take the Anastrozole, but finally did after much arguments with my family. The worse time is in the mornings with it,I have learned to take my time but still be active as much as I can.
I too was suppose to start the Prolia, but refused it. I was not ready to start bombing my body with all these meds at once on top of all the other meds I take. I too have osteoporosis , I just needed time. But I am now on Ibandronate that I will take monthly. Im just now starting it, so I'm unsure of side effects yet. Im not familiar with Verzenio, may I ask what that is ?

I Guess you didn't get my previous message,but Verzenio is a cancer drug. Please look it up on your computer and take note of the side effects. Scary. My oncologist lowered my dose from 200 mg to 100 mg, twice daily and Im doing great now. But when I started on the 200 mg twice daily, I couldn't eat, no taste, no appetite, diarrhea, threw up one time, nothing tasted, it was a mess. Now I'm concerned about the Prolia. I feel like you do. Bombarding my body with too much. However, I have a friend who took 4 Prolia shots with zero side effects. I'm having a meeting with my doctor just to discuss Prolia versus Reclast. Hopefully this coming week. I hate "pending" stuff. Hugs

Hi freebird67. Verzenio is an "expensive" cancer drug. Look at the many many side effects. Too many to explain; however, my oncologist prescribed it over any other chemo-type of treatment. I'm now doing great on it with zero side effects. When my hand surgeon explained to me that I could break my hip (my femur is in bad shape) and lose my independence if a break couldn't be repaired, etc.etc., I'm a very active and busy 82 year old (praise God) and gosh, when he told that to me plus I could be totally bed ridden after a hip break, I decided to try the darn Prolia. I do have a few friends who took it twice a year for 2 years and they had zero symptoms. It's a shame we gals have to worry about all of this in our golden years. We're supposed to be having fun and enjoying life. My best, best wishes to you.
