I have neck pain. My disk are deteriorated. I can't get comfortable at night. I see these ads for My Pillow and wonder if it helps like the ad. I don't want to spend$50 on a pillow and not help. My sister-in-laws suggested a new pillow. Any input would be welcome.

Great question!!

I Have Been On Prolia For 4 1/2 Years, Two Shots Left - I Know There Are Other Drugs Availabe.

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am asking other members what they take and success rate before I see my rheumatologist in the fall. I believe in being informed. This is my body and I really want to get this right after so many years of wrong meds. So far I have had good success with prolia - I was at -3.6 and now at -3.1. All I am asking is other meds and how people feel while on them.
Thank you

A MyOsteoTeam Member

But I think there is research showing that just stopping Prolia without taking another OP, maybe a biphosphonate, can result in fractures. I'm not a medical person but I would do my homework on this.
