Thanks London for your information I am still looking into everything as I have not long been in out of hospital again x

Dr. asked if I wanted to go on Prolia. I was not sure. He said it does not make bones stronger. It just pauses the loss of bone while on Prolia. When you come off, your bones are the same as when you went on Prolia. Anyone have any ideas on what to go on??
