Good evening @kjane322 and @emwilliams, thanks for your response @kjane322. As I read that you are looking at Prolia to help build your bones, I want to make sure you know that Prolia does not build bone.......it protects it after another medication has built it. The only three medications that build bone are Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity. Please consult with a bone health specialist/clinician to make sure you are taking the right medication.
This is a lot of medication information and it can be very confusing. I personally got involved in a mess until I saw an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic. Whew.....saved again. I sure wish it was easier. Let me know if you have other issues. You may need another opinion or consultatation.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Oh. I guess I didn’t understand that Prolia doesn’t build bone. Yet if it keeps my bones from getting worse then I should appreciate that. My endocrinologist is the person that suggested Prolia. It did surprise me since I have been on prednisone for 48 years because of adrenal insufficiency. I’m on 2 mg daily so she said it was such a small amount it would not make any difference. I’m not one who sits to much for my age so I feel that helps my bones to keep going. Anything that helps as we age is worth trying. I think?
