I fear that too many doctors do not fully make patients aware that treating osteoporosis is a lifetime commitment, both mentally and financially. I had to point blank ask the NP at the fracture clinic if I would be making a lifetime commitment. She had mentioned ReClast after a year of Evenity but had to be pinned down on how many years of ReClast might be in my future. And for these expensive drugs, paying for them could pose hardships or stressing about payments could take its toll. I want to know in advance what I am undertaking. Add in that with a drug like Prolia, one cannot just stop.

@normahorn part of the problem is insurance companies that want us to try anti-resorptives first because they are cheaper, and it is so much better to do bone builders before anti-resorptives.
