Evenity

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Walkerton, IN

Has anyone tried or is trying Evenity? I've been on Prolia for 2 1/2 years, and bones still got worse. Reading about this Evenity, I'm scared to death on taking it. Only 1 hospital out of all in my area will even give it, and to see in clinical trials women died of heart attacks and / or strokes, and the FDA at first would not even approve it..... I think I would fare better with more fractures. Sounds like it's scary stuff

Aclasta/Reclast work for me in combination with exercise 😊

I'm Eating Jelly (about Half A Teaspoon Of Agsr Agar (gelatin )every Day, Suppose Ld To Help/reverse Osteoporosis?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Brisbane, AU

My naturopath recommends 1 teaspoon of gelatin per day, but I think , that agar agar is a better option, started with 1/2 tsp, as it has also other minerals and is more
natural. I make a jelly or adding a bit to my porridge.
Not sure if that is a good way with no side effects?

Any Advice On Having Surgery For Vertebrae Compression Fractures?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Port Moody, BC

I am some what frustrated and cannot fathom living like this another 40 yrs of continuous back pain, if I should live that long. I am asking this because I cannot take pain meds of any sort. My daughters have told me to get CBD oil to help relax and sleep at night. I refused to take Forsamax after doing some research it also doesn’t seem to be the right treatment for me.

Acid Reflux
IBS
IC

A MyOsteoTeam Member

It was delayed too long so didn’t help my pain, it I’ve had no further fractures.
