Yes, that is the only side effect I have had I think. I started getting pain in my wrists joints and I had a hard time getting rid of back to back bad colds in February which weren't Covid and they both wet into sinus infections which I have never had ever. I am not sure if that is due to Prolia or not. I took Fosamax for 8 years with no side effects and it did keep me from losing bone for a while but the Prolia is growing bone so I am happy with that but not the hair loss. My endocrinologist wants me to take one more Prolia shot in September then get my Dexa scan in December then she will switch me to something else, not sure what. My daughter who is a nurse also and said "mom would you rather wear a wig or break a hip" I said neither. 🤣 I am going to start vitamins for my hair and maybe switch to some algae calcium. I walk 5 times a week and do resistance exercises a couple times a week. I am also checking out OsteoStrong, a bone center, which is like a gym for your bones. They coach you on resistance exercises and have vibration plates that you stand on which were just FDA approved to increase bone density. Has anyone else gone to OsteoStrong? I am going there next week to visit and see how it works. I will let you know what happens. This is a great site to share information. Thank you all!
P.S. My grandma had a hunchback that was so bad she could hardly stand up. I am so grateful that now we have things that we can do for prevention.
