Thank you very much @hopeful33250 . I really appreciate your kindness and the time you took to read and reply to my post.
I reached out to my team a few weeks ago when the side effects became so bad I dreaded waking up because i was in so much pain (particularly waist down, and in my lower back and even more limited in my daily life), but also extremely low in my mood & migraines. I realised I couldn't live like that. It may have been the increased pain causing hopelessness and low mood, or another side effect. It was hard to tell. The nurse was really supportive and spoke to my consultant. She told me to take a 2 day break and I was shocked how dramatically better I felt within 24hrs of not injecting.
However, the consultant urged me to restart after the 2 days and persist because my bones needed the treatment and the sideffects often reduce after a while.
I've really tried and am coping better now. The migraines have stopped and although the pain is definitely high again, I find doing the injection early evening means my midday the following day the pain eases enough for me to focus on others things and I can even get out and about a little more now.
I really am so scared of stopping treatment but I know if my mental health deteriorates too much again I do need to reconsider continuing because of my mental health history/existing conditions.
I will talk to the nurse and ask if it's possible to have an appointment to discuss prolia in sync with teriparatide. Plus discuss other options if things reach the point I cannot continue the treatment due to side effects.
Thank you very much. Sending love and hope x
