Hi, Thank you for your comments. I will stick to calcium and Vitamin d (prescription) as Prolia has too many side effects. Did you know that it contains the same chemo therapy drugs used to treat cancer? I am not putting them into my body. It also raised blood pressure. Just too many side effects to live with when I otherwise feel good. Kaye

I said no to osteoporosis medications until the age of 63 ( osteoporosis diagnosed around 55). Then there was just too much bone loss over an 18 month period that it no longer made sense to leave the disease untreated. I am too afraid of fracturing and all the side effects of fractures.
