I am curious when you say build bone naturally. Has it been determined if your bone loss started in menopause as most womens does or was there another underlying cause?,

@gravity3 Good morning! I had treatment for breast cancer in ‘03 and went into early menopause. I visited my oncologist earlier this year to discuss osteoporosis treatments with her, as I trust her implicitly. She was the one who, while deferring to my rheumatologist, recommended I stay on Prolia and build bone “naturally” with proper exercise, supplements, and diet.

Honestly, because I tolerated Prolia very well (I’ve only had one injection), I’d rather take this route, but my rheumatologist is digging his heels in.

He really wants me on Tymlos. I’m in osteopenia everywhere except lumbar at -3.1.
