@gently Do you think this is something I should bring up at the appointment tomorrow? And how would I word it, to get the best likely outcome.

@isabelle7,
the 36 month study concluded that "Teriparatide increased BMD when compared with
bisphosphonates in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis over a 36-month period" and
"Fracture incidence at 36 months: Vertebral fractures with teriparatide vs alendronate (1·7% vs 7·7%; p=0·007) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213858725002517
I suspect the doctor has already decided on either Reclast or Prolia. Of course, he may have an easy time with either drug. With Reclast I would worry because it has more side effects in people with autoimmune disease and Prolia makes you more susceptible to infections.
I hope the doctor will be flexible. Sometimes we have to pray for our doctors.
You are taking such excellent care of your husband.
