Agree completely about always being vigilant...it is exhausting and I personally prefer to spend my time contemplating more interesting topics. (Like the winter solstice and all the archeological evidence emerging world-wide about how ancient cultures treated this mysterious phenomena.)

24 months sounds about right. Early on in this thread there was a lot of discussion about this 'timing' issue which I seem to remember also included info about the rebound tending to be of most concern during the first 18 months after Prolia. That is why monitoring biomarkers can be helpful....if the CTX does not skyrocket, then you are likely out of the rebound danger zone. But skyrocketing may depend on baseline numbers, which I did not have.

When my CTX seemed stable and not too high or low in absolute terms, I began reducing my Fosomax dosage after about 18 months. With 3 months to go on the 24 months, I stopped the Fosomax.

My understanding is that the effect of Fosomax stays with you for a long time. And the thing I objected to the most about Fosomax is that it coats your bone and makes it more difficult for the osteoclasts to do their essential job in the bone turnover process. I want strong bones not just dense bones. I just resent being the laboratory rat.

I did not lose ALL my Prolia gains... only 2/3 of the gain. I need to get another DEXA and/or REMS. In no big hurry...recent result put me just over the line into osteopenia if that line is actually significant while trying to maintain targeted nutrition and body movements.

Happy holidays to all......
