My first dose of Prolia had me feeling a little unwell, for about a week, but that passed.
Six months later my second dose left me feeling worse, plus, 13 days after that second dose I came down with shingles despite the 2 recent vaccines. The case was mild and my primary gave me Valtrex. Over the year I developed a painful itchy lesion on my calf. its lasting for weeks. I showed it to my dermatologist and he was stumped and suggested a steroid shot. I opted for steroid ointment as I am tapering off prednisone. No more prolia for me.
Until atrial fibrillation last year I was taking strontium citrate; it was recommended a long time ago by my former gyn. I had found 2 studies using strontium citrate, one from Canada and from Duquesne U. I followed their protocol which involved dietary calcium, 400mg(?) strontium citrate, and a couple of other micronutrients. my osteoporosis was reversed to osteopenia . I'm still osteopenia but I was on long term steroids for polymyalgia rheumatica. i stopped the strontium when I developed atrial fibrillation as I was on heart meds. I had a successful ablation and want to go back to strontium citrate.
Thank you for this information!!
