1 Prolia injection

Posted by debis67 @debis67, Aug 30 11:45am

I had 1 Prolia back in Feb 12. Many side effects ended up in ER for mega steriods. I am going to relay with Reclast, which was due on Aug 12, but my CTX marker is only 89. I was advised to wait and take another CTX in 6 weeks. I will be having it on Sept 16th. I am scheduled to go out of State on the 23rd - Oct 3. Does anyone know how fast an CTX bone marker can jump high? Has anyone had a CTX low like mine and went ahead and had Reclast? Been a nervous wreck since Feb. over this Prolia.

Hi @debis67,

I don’t blame you - I had horrible experiences with Tymlos. Unfortunately pharma companies don’t design dosages based on our age, height, or weight and it’s not a one-size-fits-all world. And, docs don’t always know what’s best for us - I’ve not yet met one with a giant red “S” on his/her tee-shirt - but I still feel they should at least be included in our informed decisions. I guess a doc would need to sign the prescription/dosage orders to receive a smaller dose of any med.

Kindest regards to you as you make the decisions best for you; there are members who post excellent information on this site and I have availed myself of their knowledge on more than one occasion. Cheers!

In reply to @beanieone "How can one determine when they are “half way through” with the infusion; it also includes..." + (show)

I have never heard of telling them to stop the infusion when it got to half way. My Dr said he will only give me less then 5 mgs only if he see in Black and White that it can be done. Otherwise it’s fraud he said.
