I don't have an autoimmune disorder that I'm aware of; however, after taking Evinity for a year, my doctor suggested I take Prolia for a year. Two injections every 6 months. I agreed since I didn't have any known reaction to Evinity. Shortly after my Prolia injection, I developed a terrible rash that has now spread to my head, arms, back, and some areas of my chest. It's very itchy and bumpy, and nothing seems to help. I'm taking antihistamines (I've tried several), plus I've tried everything topical and a month on Decadron. No relief. I'm thinking it may not clear up until the 6 months that the injection is in my system. Everyone is different. You may not experience this side effect, but I thought I'd share so you are aware.

@sstojanovski I'm so very sorry to hear what you're going through! It sounds horribly uncomfortable, and I wish I had some advice for you. Did you contact the patient consultants at Amgen (the company that manufactures Prolia)? You can call the company to report adverse events and side effects, and perhaps one of the nurses there can give you some advice. Meantime, I wish you all the best!

you may want to see an allergist. i hope you don't plan to take prolia again. I have had numerous adverse reactions to osteoporosis drugs. My endocrinologist didn't want to risk prescribing prolia to me.

Hopefully a good allergist can figure out a way to resolve the issues arising from prolia injections
