Discouraged by Prolia & Alendronate side effects

@lynne07 I wouldn’t take any osteoporosis medications until it was required. Make sure you get plenty of calcium and vitamin D. Weight-bearing exercise is important! Get a good endocrinologist or rheumatologist to guide you through the process. All the bone medications have side effects and should be chosen carefully, based upon your health history, current medications, etc.

I don't believe anyone would or could require a patient to take osteoporosis meds. Physicians might be very concerned about those with severe loss not trying meds.
It is important to remind folks that all medications have side effects and it only becomes an issue if you get any of the named side effects.
It is much less common for those experiencing no side effects to report them here. They are too busy living.
I will share my positives:
No noticeable side effects from
Fosomax 5yr.
Forteo 2 yr
Evenity 1 year ( best gains)
Prolia 2 yr.
