Evenity effectiveness after stopping Prolia

hi, I've read and enquired much after Mum had injury after 5 yrs of prolia [now also called corora], and after 5 local drs (general, and specialist) guessing incorrectly, the best they could do is keep her on prolia, i.e they don't know anything more they can do.

i've corresponded to a couple of leading Australian endocrinologists whose opinions and experiences i trusted; here's what they've said, each, in no particular order:
• can't stop prolia unless followed by next drug type. (we know that.)
• one said use alendronate at the 4-5 month mark into prolia, for 6 months, then start teriparatide 18mths, then back to prolia again
(but your dr is talking about reclast 2 months after evenity. if he/ she really knows what he's talking about, that to me sounds about right and sounds like a relatively good option. wish my mum had the expertise in this town to advise on her 'treatments'. )

• one of the endos was not really impressed with evenity net gains,
(not much you can do about that now).
• evenity gains at upward for the first 9 months, then after that they level out for the rest of the 3 months.
• one endo said that after stopping evenity, you go back onto prolia.

• enjoy life not obsessing too much over drug choices, eat well, make sure the place is well lit and clear paths,
--------
i would add to all that include healthy fats and oils - butter, avocado oil, sesame oil, especially if underweight,
there is fermented soy cubes from the Asian store that are high in nattokinase;
i've heard good reports about boron supplements - read up and see what suits you...
keep moving, including gentle stretching,
i get my mum to gently stamp her feet throughout the day,
and take 3 full breaths intermittently ...

best wishes !

@acker can i also add here, use of natural sea salt, for seasoning food;
for decades we have been warned off it - that might be a problem for some, but not all - it contains trace elements .. good for bones ..
and also necessary for body's production of stomach acid
- which will assist APPETITE and digestion - need that to put on body FAT,
which is a positive factor for bone health in underweight people.
(I'm not saying become obese.)
underweight is a known factor in low bone density.
à tu santé!
salt, butter, honey, healthy oils!
(not canola).
in my pantry i have sesame seed oil, avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, macadamia nut oil, mustard seed oil;
beef tallow, butter, ghee, sea salt, nuts. some quality ice cream. my Mum and i are lightweights.
even heavyweights might benefit from healthy fats and oils, as diet-foods often don't work. another topic altogether.
