Like many, I tried everything to improve or stabilize my bone density but finally had to accept the fact that I needed to take some medication.
I was on Forteo for 15 months and my spine went from -2.9 to -3.0. My Endocronoglist and I agreed that I was going in the wrong direction. I am 61 and have a rare hormone disease called Kallman's Syndrome. We thought we would try Bonvia, Supplements, and a low dose of HRT. I take Climara Pro patch but only a half a patch a week. The regular does is 1 patch a week so it's a very low dose. I know that there are risks associated with HRT treatment for women my age but I feel that saving my bones… read more
Ive been on Estradiol for 25yr and never any side effects. I think my Osteo would be worse if i wasnt on it. I only take a .5 gram a day. I also take a lot of bone building supplements and use a… read more

I have had to have a hip replacement April 2019. I have to have a shoulder replacement in a week September 2020. My other shoulder is starting to get worse! My knee is going. Don’t know if I should continue the Prolia. I also now wonder if I should have anymore surgery till my bones are stronger and if they aren’t just give up trying
Only bad side effects for me…. correct vitamins, lots of walking, exercise, and good evening habits have helped me, I will no longer do their Pharmaceuticals! None of them 😔🤦🏼♀️
Anyone's doctor recommend this. Mine wants me to take it for Osteoporosis. When I read the side effects I get unsure about taking it.
When I google it, it does say it is used to treat Osteoporosis after menopause.
Here is an article on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It is all natural. My sister-in-law has used it for about 8 months now and is acting and feeling about 20 yrs younger. I can't find… read more
Here in Manitoba, the health care system is so broken many of us are now without even a family doctor. Whom do you turn to for advice/help with your osteoporosis?
Debjoy, thank you for your helpful answer. As we are without a family doctor now, I will see if the bone surgeon out here can get me in to see an endocrinologist in Winnipeg, about an 1 1/2 hour… read more
Thank you for that. Nice to hear a positive result! Are you in the US? I'm in Florida. Is BioTe the brand name?
I am scheduled for a hip replacement in March due to arthritis but have also been told due to my osteoporosis they may need to use cement because my femur is that of an 80 year old. I am only 63.
I just saw your question. From the post, it looks like you have already had your hip replacement surgery. I hope it went well. I had to have extensive physical therapy after my second hip replacement… read more
I have been reading member posts for over two years now and while some report good results it seems the majority have suffered side effects from both Prolia and Bisphosphonate medications. It seems to me that once you choose to go on one type of medication there is no getting off the merry-go-round. Once you stop one you have to go onto another type of medication. Otherwise it seems that there is an increased risk of severe degeneration of your bones
I have recently chosen to be treated with… read more
Thank you! I didn't have HRT for menopause symptoms as I was allergic (hives) to the medication which I later found out was because the estrogen in Premarin was made from pregnant mares urine! 😯
