Just read your post from January re: Prolia reactions. I too was talked into Prolia by 3 Doctors-giving me scare tactics that I would have fractures and need my bones cemented back. TERRIBLE!! I am entering my 5 th month of Prolia with tons of side effects-namely flu like symptoms for one week after initial dose, cracking of joints doing yoga, bleeding inflamed gums (Which I NEVER HAD) water retention and the list goes on and on BUT most importantly I was NEVER informed that I could not go off Prolia cold turkey. At least I only have one injection but that too I can have spinal fractures. I am in exceptional physical shape-75 -exercise about 14 hours a week and my readings are not horrible--2.9 is the worst -everything about normal. Shame on the Doctors for not giving full disclosure of the side effects and the rebound effect if not followed up with another shot. My Doc wants me to go on actonel after this. And by he way the Prolia injection is $2,400 a shot. Good money for all involved.

I can't believe the cost you paid for one injection. It is quite disgusting that the pharmaceutical industry makes billion dollars of profits when we need these medications. A fair price we could cope with. You had better look at Dr Aseem Malhotra movie 'First Do No Pharm' that shows the true picture of the Pharmaceutical companies. Dr Aseem may soon be working in America with Kennedy to reduce Obesity. I think Kennedy will need our Dr Aseem. Good luck to all of us who have been affected by these giant money making Pharmaceutical companies.
