Dear Joann, You have been a jewel providing me with all this info. My bone density test dropped to the bottom in one year after taking prolia for two years without calcium. I take VitD3, 4000 units per day but that did not seem to help. I don't know what causes the sudden drop of my DEX. Checked my parathyroid was normal my calcium levels normal so I don't know what to do. I feel lost and afraid to stop the prolia.

My phone number is 252-377-2427 if you don't mind chatting with me I am really interested in your case because you don't take calcium with prolia and yet the doctors insist that when taking prolia we must take calcium. thank you so much.

No, my doctor never checked my calcium level but only this year because my DEXA test showed severe osteoporosis. Fortunately, my calcium level showed normal 9.2 with numbers being 8.2-10.2. My parathyroid was borderline 77. Yet, my DEXA is the worse that it has ever been and that confuses me .........i tried to get an appointment with an endocrinologist and the earliest one is in June. I am 79 years old and had a hysterectomy in 1988 due to benign fibroids but have never take any estrogen-progesterone, neither calcium. The only thing I took for the past four years is 4000 iu Vit D3 and my levels are normal (45). I cry every day, I am scared to fall. I never had kidney stones....every year i have an US to check my kidneys. I never had lumbar xrays. I will ask my doctor to do them......he is my family doctor but looks like he knows nothing of all this. He never advised me to see an endocrinologist, he thinks he can do it all.
