Advanced Osteoporsis treatment recommendation

I have tried Actonel, Fosamax and Forteo to no avail for my osteoporsis (which is quite severe -4 Dexa). What are your recommendations? Have you knowledge on the NEW Prolia 6 month shot? Side effects? vs. the Reclast, One Yr. IV? I truly appreciate your expertise.

I am going for the 2nd tiome to have the reclast infusion. I had it 2 years ago and I was a minus 3, it has helped alot, but i am on alot of steroids so that i can breathe. I have had no side effects at all. It takes 15 minutes for the iv. I had no side effects! Hope this helps! cathy
