Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

@mhalpin53 @auntieoakley Success stories are very important. Often the only people who come to these sites are those who have had problems so that sort of skews the facts and there really are more success stories than non-success stories. I have been told by two endocrinologists that the problems only occur in about 1 out of every 10,000 so the chance of me having a problem from one of the medications is far less than the chance of my having a problem from a fracture. I have not yet decided which medication I will go for. I think it has to be an injection/infusion type because the oral ones are rough on your esophagus and I have Barrett's Esophagus so that could be a problem.

When you are that one out of 10,000 then it’s too serious to take a chance on. I’ve been extremely sick ever since my last Prolia shot and will never take another. Just go google ONJ and see if you want to take a chance on that. I was also told the chances of that happening to me were slim to none! It’s the worse I have ever experienced and I’m not well yet! May never get well! Not worth it!

My oncologist said about a tenth of one percent of people have reactions. I have talked to many women and men who are success stories.
