May I ask what medication you started in place of the Prolia?

Good evening @thehuth6,

Hi there, yes, I am happy to share with you the choice that my Mayo endocrinologist made for me. I started it on the one-year anniversary of my first Prolia injection.

My endocrinologist chose Alendronate because of the following reasons:
1. A weekly pill is a lot lower dose than an every 6 month injection. My body handled Tymlos because it was daily. My body just can't handle long half-life meds and Prolia was every 6 mos.
He chose Alendronate because it had a weekly lower dose than the twice-yearly Prolia.
2. Also, with short-term use, the medication is able to keep the bone density stable.
3. I also had a dental surgeon review my x-rays to make sure there was no evidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw from the one year on Prolia so I was transitioning at a good time.

Is there anything else I can share with you?

May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
