Success with Prolia?

The main issue with Prolia, in the absence of side effects, is that it is very hard to get off. If you stop or even miss a dose, bone density can plummet and fracture risk rise substantially, according to my doc and also McCormick's recent well-regarded book "Great Bones." If you do stop at some point, the timing of transition to Reclast or Fosamax needs to be individualized using blood tests *CTX, and P1NP may also be helpful).

Wow, thank you so much @windyshores 😊 You are incredibly knowledgeable about all of this. It sounds like you may have an excellent doctor taking care of your osteoporosis. What are the two blood tests that you mentioned? What do they measure? Thank you so much for sharing your helpful information!
