Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

@sue225 Thanks for the info you have posted about being on prolia. This is such a difficult and confusing situation when you need to be on a drug for osteoporosis. I do plan to take the drug route but am still deciding which drug. I may be limited due to being on immunosuppressants. For instance, if as @lelia has commented prolia "hijacks your immune system" that would probably be off limits for me. I need to do more research and speak further to my endocrinologist.

All the drugs hijack your immune system. Plus, once you start down the drug path, they will definitely keep you on it, or else you'll lose any ground you may gain....only now your bones will be more brittle than before you started. Our bones regenerate every 10 years....so I'd encourage you to research natural ways of building bone density....diet, hydration, exercise, supplementation. We can help our bodies do what they are intended to do and do it without drugs! There's a great Facebook group, Osteoporosis Natural Remedies....a wonderful support group that will encourage you in your natural protocol journey. I'm personally doing OsteoStrong, taking a high quality supplement line, eating super healthy for bone health, and in less than 3 months already am seeing positive results.

@contentandwell you'll see when you read up on Prolia (Amgen's own site)that it there is a higher incidence ofyou infections (ear, sinus, bladder). Prolia does affect the immune system. Hopefully, your doctor will take everything into consideration and prescribe what is best for you.
