@harleysweet64 your story is very similar to mine. I am not taking any meds after trying Prolia and Alendronate. I am taking calcium and vitamin d and exercising & walking (combine one hour each day ). I’m not advising you but I stopped I. August 2025. I can’t handle the side effects snd will deal with whatever comes. I’m 72 and my dexa was -4.2. Not good.

So sorry to hear this. I’m just mad that my endocrinologist didn’t tell me about all the side effects prior to switching me from Alendronate to Prolia. Side effects only lasted a few weeks but now with stopping Prolio and not transitioning to something else, I’m dealing with the after effects of that. My T-score on my lumbar spine was -1.2 in 2024 then January, 2026, it went to -0.2. So the Prolia probably helped but the side effects were just too much. I’m just praying it doesn’t turn into osteoporosis. I have appt with new doctor next week, and hoping she has better answers. Prayers being sent to you.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a difficult time with those two medications. I wonder if you have considered one of the bone building (anabolic) medications. Were you seeing an endocrinologist?
