Good evening @mamgma and welcome to the Connect forum. Thank you for responding to another member. Sharing is how we build knowledge and that in itself is powerful. It is wonderful to note that you have no side effects with the Prolia injections.

As a mentor, I am able to read many responses to osteoporosis medications. It can become quite complex with so many options. We are all quite unique and our bodies handle medications differently. I can see how endocrinologists anxiously wait for patient responses. And on that note, I would like to ask you about your statement, "Prolia produces bone.....". My understanding of the purpose of Prolia is not to build bone but to protect the bone that has been created with the help of other medications like Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity.

Would you help me understand your statement?

And may you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.
Chris

@mamga who told you that only Prolia produces bones that are not brittle? To my knowledge, that is true of Forteo and Tymlos but not antiresorptives like Prolia or bisphosphonates and to some degree Evenity,

Also, you have to be very careful when you stop Prolia to go on a bisphosphonate or you rapidly lose bone and risk of spinal fracture goes up. McCormick's new book Great Bones has a lot of info on how to get the timing right for the switch to a bisphosphonate.
