Fearing risks of Prolia

@rosem1953 I don't mean to sound alarmist, but are you not taking any bone drugs after stopping Prolia? From what I've heard, that puts you a great risk for fractures. Attached is a good article about this that says, "Significant cellular changes occur when you stop Prolia. When you discontinue Prolia, osteoclasts—those bone-resorbing cells—quickly become active again. An increase in osteoclast activity can lead to an accelerated rate of bone loss, often faster than before starting Prolia, resulting in “rebound fractures.”

You can have "rapid loss in bone density in both the lumbar spine and the hip. The risk of spontaneous vertebral compression fracture increased in the twelve to twenty-four months after suddenly stopping the two year long Prolia treatment phase."

@daisy17 After Evenity, I decided yo go on 70 mg of Fosomax until I make a decision. I have 4 different autoimmune diseases, so that's another reason why prolia frightens me. All the options jave side effects, but Prolia, Reclast & Forteo are truly scary
Male endos make light of it.
