I am 80 discovered that I had Osteoporosis when I stood up ( not fell down ) & fractured a hip 4 years ago . It has pins in it now & I lead a busy & active life. Prolia injections every 6 months. Life is good.

! stopped taking prolia after 4yrs of increasing jaw pain and now only take VitD + VitK2. The combination is necessary for any calcium intake to go to the bones and not the tissues apparently. This changed was given the OK by my GP

I have been taking Glucosamine by Natures Way designed to help support helathy bones. I have been using it for years and it helps me a lot. It is over the counter and does not interfere with any meds. Can be foudj on Amazon which is cheaper.

that's awesome to hear. I was recommended by my endocrinologist to use Reclast,but thought I'd start small. Yes, he said you are on that 3 years.

I was diagnosed when under 50 years old and started on Reclast infusions. I was nervous because it is a medication but it’s honestly been perfectly fine. As a matter of fact I just completed my 3rd year and my doctor said I’ve been holding and actually improving, so I may be in a position to take a break next year. Stay well!
