Prolia?

Posted by sdb2026 @sdb2026, Jul 16 10:56am

I started out with Fosomax for a few years. It did not help. Then I continued with Actonel for a few years. It did not help either. Then I used a variety of OTC supplements for a couple of years. No change in bone density. Now, at 75, after a DEXA scan indicated "significant osteoporosis," I am supposed to go on Prolia. Does that make sense? Also, I am worried about side effects. Is Goat Milk the answer?

Goat milk? That’s a new one! I wish we had better protocols. I tried most of them. They didn’t work so they put me on Forteo. It worked and I went from osteoporosis to osteopenia. I did nothing for many years and my DEXA was stable until the last one. My doctors all said Prolia. I didn’t want to but at 70 with a lot of other issues I decided I didn’t want any more fractures I agreed. My side effects have been bad. Reclast was so much worse! You could talk to a functional medicine specialist about a natural protocol but it may or may not and you really need some sort of weight or resistance training. Generally once you start Prolia there is no going back!

@bswpb took two injections and my dr asked me why? They are very expensive. He put me on alendronate once a month.
I don’t like taking medicine for osteo. 😔

I've been on Prolia and have had good results. No side affects either.
