I found that Great Bones by Keith McCOrmick is the reference book for bone health. It is thorough and well documented and puts the entire picture together for you that would take forever on your own. Get the book or ask your library to get the book.
Like Gravity3, I have had no side effects from either Fosomax or Prolia. The problem has been that either the drug did not increase density (although it might have prevented further loss) or the gains were lost soon after discontinuing the med.
If I could take BHRT, it is this option I would want to explore more thoroughly for bone health. Some of us cancer survivors cannot take hormone therapy and many of those who advocate BHRT need to include this important restriction on its use. But it does seem more promising than most of the osteo meds.

@rjd What about Evista (Raloxifene )? I used this after Forteo for 6 yrs. With insignificant loss shown on bone scans taken every year in follow up.
@rjd
Yes! The book is so helpful. I wanted to add that watching the author of the Great Bones book, Keith McCormick on YouTube interviews is also very informative and worth every second of your time. All you need to do is put his name into the search.

Have you taken one of the anabolic meds yet?
