Yes, the "ego ruffling" makes the journey so hard. Thanks for the sharing with me. I have to make a decision very soon and I'm finding more peace with attacking this with food and supplements, and weight-bearing exercises.

Hello @colleen67. I see that two incredibly supportive members have joined you already to share their experiences with you on Prolia.

You may notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on stopping Prolia, which you can find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/can-one-stop-taking-prolia-after-the-first-shot/

I did this so that you may connect with additional members such as @fourof5zs and @contentandwell who may also be able to share some additional thoughts with you.

I am curious if you've looked into liquid collagen as an option to perhaps include in your regimen as you go forward?

I hope that you explore any and all possibilities for treatment. A lot of us who don't have osteoporosis are also exploring diet and exercise and supplements to help maintain bone density. But my impression, from reading hundreds of comments and numerous studies, is that, if one already has osteoporosis, these steps might not be enough to stop or reverse it. And maybe a drug that can rebuild bone would be warranted. Depending upon the severity, if any, of the bone density. And bone health.

It all seems a delicate balancing act to me but, until science advances and is able to prevent osteoporosis entirely, we have to play it by ear to some extent.
