Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

@candrgonzalez it is important to remember that some patients can take Prolia and other bisphosphonates without adverse side effects. People who don't experience side effects tend not to post on forums like this one. My mother has taken Prolia for years, an injection every 6 months. She experiences only the benefits and no side effects. I'm not saying you should or should not take Prolia, I just wanted to provide another story and person's experience.
Please talk to your doctor, tell her/him about your concerns and ask about possible alternatives and how risky the risk may or may not be for you. Like @sue225 says, everyone is different. You need to do what is right for you.

As important as it is to hear about the problems people have with Prolia, it is just as important to hear about the positive effects. After researching Prolia on the internet I was really anxious about getting a Prolia injection. I had tried Fosamax but was unable to keep it down so my doctor said Prolia was the best alternative. Until I found this site I had not discovered any other place where people stated that they didn't have horrible side effects. Since yesterday (3/5/2020) was my first injection I don't have a lot to share but I am NOT having any side effects so far and hope that continues to be the case.

@candrgonzalez and @colleenyoung and one thing I'd also like to mention is that Prolia has increased my bone density in both the hip and the spine significantly. So, you just might as Colleen says, be one of those people who does well on Prolia. In my doctor's osteoporosis clinic there are 650 patients on Prolia.
