Interesting position. From my research, I thought you could go on Fosomax or something similar after Prolia to lock in the bone density gains and thereby reduce fracture risk associated with stopping Prolia.

Are you on any meds for osteroporosis and if so, what?

I could try to research this from your other postings but I find this website, as wonderful as it is, to be difficult and time-consuming to navigate. Thanx.

I am finishing Tymlos.

I referred to Reclast in my previous post, as a follow up to Prolia. Reclast is, like Fosamax, a bisphosphonate.

Yes you can go to a bisphosphonate to "lock in gains." But long term use of anti-resorptives (Prolia and bisphosphonates) carries risk of atypical femur fractures, dental issues/jaw necrosis etc. So maybe the additive effect of years on Prolia + years on an anti-resorptive are a factor in my doc's approach.

I would ask your doctor about this!
