Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Hi,
As I have said before, my endocrinologist who is chairman of endocrinology at a large medical center in the Washington, D.C. area let me quit. Calculated my risk of quitting and put me on ergocalciferol and Vitamin D (plus my Vitamin B12. I feel 1000% better! I wish I had never started it as I had constant bone pain and lost a lot of my hair! I walk and do a moderate amount of exercise. The other osteoporosis drugs also made me sick but not as bad as prolia. Remember, medicine is big business and the big pharma companies want all of us on as many drugs as possible and doctors are part of the pharma group.
\Good luck, Kaye

Thanks for your response Kaye. My appointment at the osteoporosis clinic is at the end of February. (I do take 2000iu of Vit D daily). Will have the discussion then. (On a separate note, since I have been on Prolia, I have experienced hair loss, and my pre-existing problems (gastrointestinal & osteoarthritis) got much worse.) Thanks again.
