Hi, I had a positive experience with Prolia. I’ve been battling osteoporosis and osteopenia throughout my 50s. I’m currently 58 and recently broke my pelvis and several ribs. Apparently, no one wants to put me back on any medication.
I was on Prolia shots for 2 years and they worked well for me without apparent side affects. I returned bone density levels high enough to stop getting injections.
I understand that some folks have negative side affects. I expected to have them with my bad dental genetics and history but fortunately did not. After discussing the options available at that time, insurance coverage, and my medical history, we settled on Prolia injections. Eventually I realized andit was confirmed by the staff that I was the only woman receiving them in their very large practice.
The drug company rep and BCBSTX were all very helpful when I had to order the shot every 6 months myself, and have it sent to the doctor’s office.
My health has since deteriorated, so I would have to have the discussion again with my gynecologist about what medicine is the best approach. I’ll be giving her a call to let her know about my recent bone breakage to keep her in the loop.
