Jubonnti reactions after first dose
My doctor is recommending I start Prolia. I have done the other osteo meds, but my score just put me in the OP category with a score of -2.6
I am more afraid of fractures and ending up in a nursing home or wheel chair.
I am 73 and my rebound drug will be reclast.
How long after the injection does it take for reactions to appear?
Any tips?
Also, how tight is the schedule for the following shots at 6-month increments? Is there wiggle room?
If I get to ask questions, what should I ask?

Do your own research before the appt on all possible OP drugs, especially noting the risk profile of each. Then you will be ready for the appt and discussing your preferences with the doctor!
I also took my endocrinologist's opinion without question, regretfully.
@tillymack
I didn’t think of going to endocrinologist. What can they show me.
We tried the other drugs, fossomax, aldonerate, and reclast.
Didn’t get any change.

It sounds as though you have not had any of the anabolic medications . Is that correct?
What are the anabolic meds?
@tillymack what was your endocrinologist opinion?
What would you do different now?
Forteo rather than Reclast. Reclast after Forteo.
I don’t understand how his comment.
Forteo and Reclast are two osteoporosis medications.
Got it. So you did Forteo then Reclast? I didn’t do Forteo.

Bone anabolic drugs are medications that stimulate osteoblasts (bone-building cells) to increase new bone formation, thereby boosting bone mass and strength, primarily used for severe osteoporosis to quickly reduce fracture risk. Key examples include PTH analogs like teriparatide (Forteo) and abaloparatide (Tymlos), and the anti-sclerostin antibody romosozumab (Evenity). They are distinct from anti-resorptive drugs (like bisphosphonates) and often used in sequence with them, as their bone-building effects are temporary.
