Which doctor's advice do you 100% take advice from when they all have a different opinion. Folks on line at Connect don't give medical advice. We do talk about our personal experience with medications. And often suggest that you ask your doctor (as I did in response to your post), about a medication or side effect. There is a big safety net here. You can't get any of these medications without a physician's approval--prescription. If you are thinking that your doctor is omniscient, he just isn't.
My doctors do not believe in chiropractors or naturopaths, bu my last doc said that there were natural approaches for a long time before we had all of these drugs and eating healthy, taking the correct supplements, and doing weight-bearing exercise is the way to go IF I can not afford or am too skeptical about Forteo or the other drug.
It has been a year and a half since I stopped Prolia and my last dexascan ( 2 days ago) has not changed........my numbers are still osteopenia.
We shall see..............thanks .
