Pami, how are you doing on Prolia? What were your t scores and did you use prior osteomeds? Also, what collagen supplement are you using? My Dr wants to put me on Prolia indefinitely and I'm concerned. I had an ntx test that shows I'm not breaking down bone fast. Appreciate your insight.

I took Reclast for 2 years and increased my spine bone density from a -4.5 to -4.1 in my spine.  I just finished my first year on Prolia and did not expect to get a big gain. I was shocked when my spine bone density increased to a minus 3.6. Left femoral neck increased from -2.4 to -2.2. Right femoral neck stayed the same at -2.5. Reflecting on what I did different after reading everything I could find, I began eating 5-6 prunes throughout the day, walked 3 miles 5 times a week, did a leg press machine and a pull down T-bar 4 times a week, made a fruit and kale smoothie daily with 1 scoop of Collagen in it, took 2 Triple Action Osteo-Biflex, 200 mcg Vitamin K2-Mk7, 250 mg Magnesium, 2000 IU Vitamin D, 1 Mature Multi Vitamin and ate or drank Calcium all throughout the day. I try to keep myself hydrated. I also have increased the amount of protein I eat to 60. I use 1/2 scoop of Vital Proteins (3 Types of collagen) and 1/2 scoop of Dr. Axe's (5 Types collagen). Read about prune studies.

Also, my neighbor is on Prolia. She said she hardly gets any gains from it. I know she exercises daily and is a vegetarian. I increased my protein consumption and wonder if that helped.

I'm so hesitant about prolia too. I had a dexa scan, what is an NTX test please?
Thanks!
