I had my 3rd shot of prolia in April of 2024. About mid June, I noticed my hair starting to thin. Now six weeks later, it has progressed by coming out by the hands full. There is barely enough left to put a clip or ponytail around. I take Biotin along with other hair vitamins. Increased my iron intake to help raise my ferritin. My regenerative dr gave me a script for around 40 blood tests which included 25 tubes of blood. Not all the results are back yet but nothing appears to stick out to be a cause for hair loss. I am petrified it is the Prolia.

I had a phone call from my endocrinologist a couple days ago about my thyroid blood work, told her about my hair loss and she said there is nothing that can be done about it. I see her in September and assume it will not be a pleasant appt. I switched to her just a few months ago because she was recommended to me and my previous one moved out of the area. I assume I have to go in with a game plan to get off the prolia. I refuse to get another shot of it. Because I have very thin fine hair already, I could be bald by then.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Because I have researched hair loss so much, I am getting all kinds of ads for hair loss products. Do any of them work?

Sorry for going on and on and on ..... I am so depressed, worried, and scared!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!

I am considering the Actonel (took it 10 years ago-without hair loss at the time). I am also on HRT which is monitored every 6 weeks by blood work by the regenerative doctor. So wondering if the Actonel and HRT will be enough to control the bone loss after quitting Prolia. Thought it could be monitored with bone markers (CTX and P1NP). I am scheduled for a DEXA in a couple weeks. I was on Forteo prior to Prolia.

Thanks again, You are all so helpful in this group!!!
