How did you choose your treatment?

I went against my endo's recommendation and choose what I thought to be the least invasive drug with the fewest side effects after I was unable to take Fosamax.

I have followed their directions as good as I can as far as taking the supplements they suggest (fish oil,… read more

How can I get off Prolia SAFELY?

There were no warnings about the danger of delay; I was just told my appointment would be later when the new doctor was available, and there were no warnings in Amgen's info to alert me.
