Thank you for this information, I just had my bone density. Iam at the point of making this same decision and trying to do as much research as possible. I also have the seizure disorder and I am on anticonvulsants and I was on steroids and also getting weekly N Plate injections for ITP (low platelets) so I have been considering what would be the best option for me.
I’ve read a lot of negative results about Prolia and so this information really is helpful. My Dr is suggesting Prolia and wants to start the injections when I see her.

Thank you both for your posts, @sungaltoo and @becca13. I’m also struggling with a decision to either begin Reclast or Prolia — am 63 with lumbar score of -3.9, taking Letrozole which has brought it down to that level in a year. Pretty daunted by Prolia’s rebound description (my endocrinologist is recommending it for 3 years, until I stop taking the Letrozole), and somehow Reclast seems like a “safer” choice. But is it really? Really having a hard time with this decision. Grateful for this support group!!!

My endo just gave me a choice between Reclast and Prolia. I had Reclast last year; went into Afib for 20 hours. He said I could wait a year to do Reclast but would prefer I start Prolia right away for 3 years. Then back to Reclast. I’m not sure..both are scary. Following everyone’s input. I’m 77 and on anastrozole for at least 3 more years.

Talk to your dr about your concerns and even to another that knows your medical conditions. I always try to remember that there’s usually more people that come online to post their negative thoughts than people with positive ones. It’s anecdotal evidence not scientific from studies. It’s kind of driven by fear.
The alternative for me was breaking a bone or more and ending up in rehab, which did not go well for the other women in my family. So for me I did research and weighed it and it worked out ok
