What Type Of Doctor Do You Go To For Osteoporosis? (after Diagnosed)
I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.
I think there was one great doctor for Osteoporosis, Dr. Darah Morgan. She retired. Everybody else goes by what the pharmaceutical salespeople are pushing. I do have a friend from India who is an MD… read more
Has Anyone Taken Prolia? If So Did You Experience Any Side Affects?
I may need to reconsider if the Bone Maximizer doesn’t show improvement.
How Did You Choose Your Treatment?
I went against my endo's recommendation and choose what I thought to be the least invasive drug with the fewest side effects after I was unable to take Fosamax. I am currently taking Evista, Ca and Vit D but I am scheduled for my second bone scan. I am hoping to have made progress but my doctor is not hopeful. He wants me to choose between Forteo and Tymlos. He says I am not building bone and these are the best options for this issue. I don't want to take any of these drugs because of all the… read more
Calcium And Vitamin D
Calcium supplements cause constipation for me and since I have had issues with this due to a bowel obstruction surgery, as well as IBS with fibromyalgia, more of that issue I really don't need. Is there any calcium product that is less constipating? I do take 3000mg vit D and 200 mg Magnesium daily and eat a lot of calcium rich foods.
I buy it 2 bottles at a time and always get the 120 quantity bottles to save money
Prolia And High LDL Cholesterol
Has anyone on Prolia experienced a significant increase in their LDL numbers? I have always had high cholesterol and was unable to tolerate statins. My cholesterol numbers increased over and above what was already not good after two months on Prolia. The endocrinologist was surprised at this rapid increase and in his report to my family doctor said, "maybe it is caused by Prolia". I am now on Repatha, (another biologic manufactured by Amgen) to lower my cholesterol. I needed to deal with my… read more

Has Anyone Tried Algae Cal Plus The Stotnium?
My doctor is pushing for me to go on Prolia and I'm resistant, hoping to try a more holistic approach.
Pam, continue to resist all of the medications. Your doctor is going to suggest for your osteoporosis. Every medication they put me on had numerous side effects. Acid reflux was not one of them. And… read more
Fosamax: What Have Your Experiences With This Drug Been? Positive Or Negative?
My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.
