I’m Thinking Of Taking Prolia Which Is Injections Twice A Year. Does Anyone Know Of Any Natural Remedies To Help With Building Bone Mass?
I don’t want to take medications due to the side effects. Anyone tried different medications or suffer from side effects?
Has anyone tried taking Silica? I have thought about it. I am unsure if I can take it. I am going to research it. Any help would be appreciated.
Medicines

Prolia
Has anyone taken Prolia and stopped? I have not taken it yet tho has been offered to me. Took all other osteo meds but had to quit due to digestive issues. I know the drugs I took caused the acid reflux and gerd issues, 5 yrs of taking them. Then 3 yrs of taking PPI's for the stomach. Which did nothing but harm for the bones. Am now taking nothing except vitamins and supplements and feeling so much better. Hate the thought of taking the Prolia after researching side effects.
My oncologist told me to take Tums for calcium. I’ve been taking Prolia for 3 years. No side effects but bone density hasn’t gotten better or worse!
Tired
I seem to tire more easily. Is this part of having osteoporosis
I think pain makes us tired. I get so tired and depressed at times. Listening to music is helpful
Has Anyone Tried Reclast
Thank you!
Should I Take Other Treatment?
I do not take anything other than calcium and vitamin d. I do not like the side effects listed on the other drugs. Kidney failure is my biggest concern.
Yes carry on enjoying your life and your family! Hugs

I believe long term use of asthma medications have largely contributed to my osteoporosis. I'm sensitive to medication, am unconvinced from what I have read that medication increases bone density or strength in the spine. My mother suffered necrosis of the jaw due to medications… read more

Natural Products
If anyone has had success with an increase in bone density with a natural product please let me know what it was and the company you got it from. The same for if there were specific diet and exercises you did. If they have helped with pain that would be helpful too.
I use Turmeric Gummies for my pain. I can not take the pain meds except codeine as I only have one kidney. I found the recipe here https://asquirrelinthekitchen.com/anti-inflamma...
