Unfortunately, I am in the process of being tested for Osteocronosis of the jaw from Prolia. If I do have this awful disease the only medicine I can take is Tymlos or Forteo. The other meds will do more harm to my jaw. If you’re not aware of what this is read up on it it’s devastating. I am already in a lot of pain from it and can’t cause more damage. I’m pretty much between a rock and a hard place. My drs are very aware of the rebound effect from Tymlos going off Prolia and explained it to me. I’m off Prolia for 3 months now and they’re bringing me in for another bone density to see if I can wait any longer to start something. I am going to mention to my Rheumatologist about the CTX Blood Markers and see if I can have that test too. I live in Miami and I’m of the age that I’m on Medicare so I don’t have the expense that you encountered. I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through. I did read the info regarding Prolia and they mentioned about a 4% chance of this Osteocronosis especially in cancer patients, which I am not. I never had any issues and now this is mind blowing. I have a girlfriend that went off with no problems. I hope I’m one of the few lucky ones. Good luck to you as well.

It’s me again. I noticed last time I did take a CTX blood marker and mine was within range. I called today and said as well as the bone density I want another one and I’m going to my dr this morning and he’s going to draw some blood and get me the results. This is probably more accurate than a bone density with all the arthritis I have.

@laujodrik what did you end up doing after stopping prolia? Did you take tymlos? I stopped taking Prolia 15 months ago because I didn’t know about rebound. My doctor suggested Tymlos but from what I read, it could do more harm good.
I’m really trying to avoid a reclast due to other medical conditions and possible side effects.
