Wow....@fiesty76, I am in the same canoe....I think. Need to get somewhere....but it seems all of the choices have holes in the structure. I did some more reading today. Here were the negatives for me.......bone, joint, and tissue pain. I deal with that every day trying to control neuropathy. You can take it for 10 years.........but the side effects don't always go away. DEXA scan scores didn't improve but then I remember that Prolia doesn't form new bone...it just keeps what you have all in one piece (hopefully). And when the most significant rise in fractures seemed to happen pretty quickly.....I am somewhat alarmed. The research is set up correctly I think and the incidences are recorded and calculated accurately as far as I can see.

Where is our shining star? I check in November 13 to discuss options. Pour the info my way if you see anything significant. Watching calcium also isn't one of my favorite things to do. How many grilled cheese sandwiches can I eat to take the place of the supplements which drive me crazy.

Thanks for responding....I'll check back in after the big decision meeting.
May you be free of suffering and the causes o suffering.
