Prolia discontinuation

Yes you hit the nail on the head I am in a catch 22 because I already have had symptoms of osteonecrosis of the jaw during my dental implant procedure. I had to have the implants removed two weeks later because some bone was erupting through the gum line. I also have elevated parathyroid activity in my last blood work done a month ago so they are suspicious of something else going on with me. I have never had a broken bone in my life and I have fallen many times since I've been on Prolia and before that. I am 70 years old and I'm wondering if my dexa scans could improve even just a little if I could just go off Prolia cold turkey because the alternatives are not promising given the jaw issues and the parathyroid issues. I am in a quandary and now will probably be involving three different doctors well one is a nurse practitioner, the one that administers the Prolia. I guess I can stay on Prolia and look for that window of 5 months out from my last shot, where you can supposedly safely have dental work?

Did you stop prolia with success.? You had posted back in December you thought you were coming off. Wondering how you are doing.

I’m in the same quandary please advise what you did
