Prolia discontinuation

No, I have not found an alternative yet. I switched from nurse practitioner/bone specialist to an endocrinologist due to elevated parathyroid and calcium levels in my blood. The bone health specialist was going to switch me to HRT, Evista, to transition off Prolia, as its my only viable option due to the fact that I developed ONJ last year during an implant procedure which had to be reversed. I cannot take what you are taking because of that. Waiting to see if my osteoporosis is related to parathyroid tumors and once that's eliminated or confirmed, we can start to figure out what I can transition to in place of Prolia. But for now I am in limbo. I have been on Prolia almost 7 years and I believe I have other side effects from taking Prolia, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol and severe lower back aches, but I can't prove any of it conclusively. I want to get off Prolia but I don't know if and when I will be able to do that. In the meantime my tooth problem also is unresolved.

Had you stopped taking your prolia before the implants? I have been off of Prolia for a year and have had bone graft and scheduled for 2 implants on February 11th. I am worried about ONJ.
