I was on low-dose prednisone (5 mg daily) for psoriatic arthritis for about 5 years. When I had spinal surgery I bent over too early in recovery and developed a compression fracture at T10. That’s when they discovered I had osteoporosis.
I see a bone health professional who prescribed more calcium and vitamin D supplements, as well as Tymlos, a daily injection you take for two years. I just finished my first year and blood markers indicated I’m building bone. Evidently there is a way to reverse osteoporosis. So grateful!

I’ll have another DEXA scan at the end of this year. Needless to say, I’m no longer on prednisone.
