This is just my experience, however, I can tell you that I have several autoimmune conditions and I’ve had issues with 5 different osteoporosis meds. All of them set off a flare of one or more of my autoimmune symptoms.
In addition, prolia actually caused a new autoimmune condition- lichen plano pilarus. I have lost more than 50% of my hair.
I asked my endocrinologist if there was a connection between the meds and my autoimmune conditions, she would not commit to anything.
I know that the cells that are responsible for bone remodeling , osteoclasts and osteoblasts, are part of the immune system, so it seems logical to me that there would be a connection.

@sondrachristo1, thanks for weighing in on this autoimmune/osteoporosis meds issue. I am so sorry to hear about the effect Prolia had on you, and I appreciate your thoughts.

Wishing you all the best...
