Dear windyshores, Thank you for your information. I really appreciate your response. I too am very sensitive to medications and I have refused to take any of the osteoporosis drugs even though my endocrinologist has told me he felt it was necessary five years ago. I am also, now very concerned because my allergist just told me to not take any COVID booster while I am on Prolia. This is so frustrating since I clearly asked all of my doctors to address the warning to get permission from your doctor before getting vaccinated while on Prolia. Each of them said don't worry about that ! You will be fine. Unfortunately my allergist said I would be fine as long as I waited 6 weeks after Prolia to get the booster. Now, he is saying it is not Ok to get the booster. I did get the booster in November because that was six weeks after the last Prolia injection. If we need another booster, I don't know what I will be able to do. I ask all of my doctors "What is the Risk vs the Benefit ?" of any medication and "Would they tell their Mother to take this drug?" I figure that should protect me. Obviously, I was wrong. Please continue to connect with me and pass on any more wisdom you have. I really like the "ramping up of doses" that you are experiencing. No one suggested this approach to me. I will continue to update you on my journey to figure this out.

I would consider Tymlos, start at 2 clicks not 8, and move up only when no or few side effects. Takes a week or two between doses. Move up to 3, then 4, and it is okay to stop at 4 or 6 or 7 or wherever you land without major side effects. My doc is thrilled with 6 clicks and would have been okay with 4. Sometimes I do 7, absolutely cannot do 8! Also fool around with timing, eat something and drink a full glass before you take it, and maybe a tylenol. You have to be patient at first. Most of the side effects fade as your body adjust- it is a hormonal shift. Promise.

It is kind of a mystery that your spine is in such good shape, relatively speaking so maybe the Prolia did help!
