@connectalant be careful getting off Prolia. You might want to read McCormick's book "Great Bones" on this. If you do Reclast too early it won't work, and if you do it too late you might lose more bone density, according to him. He suggests using blood tests to determine best timing.

What type of blood tests did he suggest?

I am a six year user of Prolia. My DexaScan recently showed a 10% drop in BMD over the past 2 years. Confirmed on a retest. Another scan at a very reputable clinic showed no decline over a 5 year period. I realize different machines produce different readings, but the BMD and T-scores are significantly different. With the 10% drop shown, I am now faced with a decision on a successor medication to Prolia. Tymlos or Forteo have been recommended, but I am concerned with the rebound effect of Prolia if I change to either of these drugs.

Any thoughts?
