Members discussed transitioning from Prolia to Fosamax, with many noting that bisphosphonates like Fosamax are typically recommended as first-line treatment while Prolia is often reserved for more severe cases or when other options have failed. Several members shared their own experiences, including one who successfully improved from osteoporosis to osteopenia on Prolia, another who found relief from pain using turmeric alongside treatment, and one who experienced severe body aches on Prolia but tolerated Fosamax better. A recurring theme was the stress and confusion around managing calcium levels, stopping medications for dental procedures, balancing the risk of side effects like jaw disease, and the challenge of maintaining bone health through diet and exercise while navigating conflicting medical advice.
