Hi kay 71. Thank you for the post about Prolia. Since I can't decide which poison to take.I have had dental issues in past and had all my upper teeth removed and a permanent denture put in. Finally all is well there and I read about Prolia possibly causing side effects. I have a hyper thyroid which decelerated my bone loss. My left arm is changed by 12% from my Dexa from last year. I have no choice and scared. I may have to choose Tymlos. Anyone on this board used Tymlos? Also Kay71 why didn't they give you Tymlos?

Hey Diva. Do some research about these drugs. The way they work is by not allowing the old, dead bone to exit the body. Usually it is excreted in the urine. But these drugs keep the dead bone in place until you quit taking it. It makes it appear as though you have new bone - stronger bone - when in fact, it is dead bone. That is why people start fracturing when they stop taking the meds.

I was recovering from stage 1 breast cancer and was given Letrozole which is an estrogen blocker to keep breast cancer away. The oncologist told me I had to take Prolia along with it as a prevention of osteoporosis. She never checked my bone density which later I found my report and it was fine. When I told her about the jaw problem, she wouldn’t believe me and said it was only for prevention anyway so I could stop taking it. She became very rude and got mad and slammed out the door. She realized she had messed up. It was a bad experience but I’m gradually getting better. It just shouldn’t have happened. I will never take anything again.
