@susan30 You are right a lot of people hate what it has done to them but on the other hand it has helped some All the post on here are,nt in favor but its your decision My friend had osteoporosis but had one shot of a different med for her bones she had a bad reaction so didn't take anymore instead she went for the weight training swimming Vit D3 at the time her endocrinologist put her on 50,000 mg her D was so low but now she takes 10,000mg , calcium and magnesium and her osterporosis is under control . But in the long end its up to you what you want to do.

Thx for your comments ..... Diagnosed 2 mos ago with Osteoporosis. GP dr suggested Prolia.
Have taken calcium w mag / zinc/ D3 for years. I started taking Algae Cal (4 gel caps a day) ordered out of Vanc BC (has boron & K2 in it). Has good reviews re helping building bone density.
I also have microscopic lymphocytic colitis diagnosed 1 yr ago - gastro doc put me on Budesonide 8 wks on / 8 off. Then switched me to Azathioprine at the lowest dose. In my research I read those RXs thin bone density. I'm off the Azathioprine by choice. Those 2 RX's calm the bad diarrhea that comes with Colitis. Up until taking those RXs I had pretty strong bones. I'm in ND so only 2 Endocrinologists are in the state 400 miles away from me so I'm looking to go to Billings MT to meet with an Endo dr there & get their opinion how to cope with Colitis & my diagnosis of Osteoporosis. They fight against each other if I stay on Budesonide & try to build bone density at the same time....grrrr
