I have had Osteoporosis and taken many of the pills over the last 20 years. Actonel and Fosamax didn’t do anything to improve my bone density scores. Next I tried everyday I hoof Fosamax and within six months I had such joint pain my doctor immediately took me off that and recommended Prolia.
My low bone density was a direct result of malnutrition caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease. Once I was diagnosed and began a totally Gluten free diet, I started to slowly put back on 40 of the 50 pounds I had lost. With this kind of history, I knew I had to find something that would help rebuild the density in my bones.
I began the Prolia along with Bio
Indentical Hormones 7 years ago. I have had no side effects whatsoever from the injections and I have the lowest level of Osteopenia in my hip. My doctor prescribed compounded HRT with regular blood work and increased my Testosterone levels just a bit to help with the density of my bones. I have no reservations about the Prolia and expect my bone density test in October to show the Osteopenia to be gone.
I do understand all the hesitation in adding such drugs to our systems but with me it has been a complete success without issues. Being 75 and noticing I sometimes lose my balance due to AFIB, I couldn’t rely on doing nothing, possibly falling, and who knows what I might break.
Just wanted to show there are successes with the drug.
