Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am terrified

He recommended Prolia. Although I have taken it several times I am still not comfortable with going down this path at 77. I've had minimal side effects - some leg discomfort. The dilemma is that I have already had 5 years on fosamax. My endocrinologist suggested that I try a smaller dose of reclast then perhaps a drug holiday, then return to Prolia in a few years if I live that long. I am wrestling with a decision but I have time. How about you?

I am a bit confused trying to understand your current situation.
Are you presently taking Prolia? Is it something you have taken in the past? How long would you stay on Prolia? Is the Reclast suggested as an alternative to Prolia or as a rebound med?

Sorry I thought I was responding to a gal on Evenity that had good results. I’m also 77 and have been on Evenity for 7 months with minimal side effects other than sore joints for a couple days. I’ll look into your Prolia after my 12th month. I hope you’re doing well. I’m grateful to medical professionals to keep me going. Happy Holidays
