Good morning @lorkay . I, too, was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis caused by prednisone treatments for my autoimmune disease. I read everything in this discussion and was very conflicted like you. I saw my endocrinologist last week and he recommended Reclast. When i questioned him about the side effects, he said “I've been doing this for 20 years and i can count on one hand the number of patients who have had problems.” So, i decided to trust him and go with it.
Will you let me know what you decide?

In reply to @lorkay ….. I have taken both medications and was not able to take Forteo due to chronic migraines and I have had no problems taking Prolia. I think everyone reacts according to their own individual makeup and discussing and experimenting with medications is how I found what worked for me(in conjunction with my doctor). I did not want to choose the “natural” route due to family history and observing older relatives with this disease who did not have access to medication and how the disease progressed for them.

Good evening @lorkay. I was just reviewing some posts and landing on yours. Perhaps you already know this but I want to make sure. Forteo and Prolia have different purposes. Forteo is a medication for building bone. Prolia is for maintaining bone. There are three medications that actually build bone: Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity. All are injections. Is that what you are trying to do at this time?
