Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

The GERD thing is a problem, I know. Injections avoid esophageal irritation or worse but there's something about a 6-month dose of something injected into the body that, for me, is a concern. I'm the kind of person who'd rather a little inconvenience and the kind of self-administration gadget that your osteoporosis drug uses.

Oral bisphosphonates can have (for some patients) side effects that are more than "a little inconvenient." A friend ended up with bad esophagitis which took weeks to resolve after stopping the medication.

The problem is that my self-administration gadget (Tymlos pen) needs to be followed by something else, at least initially and I do not want Prolia. I am hoping to do Evenity but that needs to be followed by something else too, again, at least initially. My hope is to do natural methods during the expected breaks in Reclast.
