I had a very enlightening conversation with my infectious disease doctor about drugs like prolia. She told me she knew about those drugs and she also didn't think I should take them. She said to me exactly what my research into bisphosphonates has already revealed: Those drugs hold onto old bone rather than let it leave the body. That way your bones appear to be getting thicker and thicker - but it is only the old bone that would normally be expelled from the body. So as soon as you stop taking Ptolia, Reclast, etc., you are back to having your bones and nothing more. All the progress you made is only an illusion. She agreed with me that addressing my Human Growth Hormone issue is important, as is taking my vitamins and minerals. I am also on a very low dose of estrogen and progesterone. My DEXA scan score was -5.7. When I was thinking of trying Prolia, the women on the support group on Facebook told me to talk to some women who are in their group (it's a natural remedy for Osteoporosis group). Both of those woman got osteonecrosis from taking Prolia. Both of them no longer had a jaw. One of them was fighting osteonecrosis in a secondary place. They didn't have to say much to convince me. Vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7) is SO important. I am continuing my research and I will keep everybody posted if I learn anything really great and new. I'm doing vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7) and vitamin D3, 3 mg of boron 3x daily, food-based calcium 500 mg 2x daily, magnesium 250 mg 2x daily, a good food-based multivitamin, a good food-based vitamin C as well as B complex, CoQ10, PQQ, and NAC (only the CoQ10 is for the bones - but if you take the others with it, you get protection from heart disease), flaxseed oil, turmeric, boswellia, and sunflower lecithin. And I try to down some grass-fed cow collagen daily.

@parrotqueen prolia is very scary. My doctor never really explained the side effects or that I’ll be on it forever it even worse.
In your research did you find anything about stopping it after years of being on it?
I’m afraid to just stop but don’t want to be on it anymore
