Trying AlgaeCal instead of Prolia - Looking for provider support

@rosem1953 sadly the thing about prolia that no one tells you is you can't just stop it or you will get prolia rebound. This is when you experience rapid loss of bone density and spike in bone turnover. It occurs because Prolia temporarily suppresses bone breakdown; stopping it causes accumulated osteoclasts (bone-eating cells) to become suddenly active, risking multiple spontaneous vertebral fractures. I know because it happened to me. I regret ever taking that medication as it cause three compression fractures all at once.

@maymore I am so sorry to hear what happened to you when you got off of Prolia. This breaks my heart because we relied on our doctors to educate us about Prolia and we had no clue that the negative affects from getting off would be so profound. I hope you are doing better. I am too skeptical of all the injections that many doctors prescribe to agree to those treatments. I know there are alot of questions about AlgaeCal and the Strontium supplements but for now, I am committed to staying on this program and hope my next DEXA scores will show even minor improvement.
