i was on fosamax for 9 years and there wasn't that much improvement so rhematologist took me off it and started me give myself forteo shots every day for 2 years. Had a slight improvement. Didn't bother after my dr retired. Now another 10 years have passed and I am so bad another dr wants me to go on prolia shots. I am worried about it because it stays in system for 6 months and I have mast cell disease. Can't find anything on if it increases the histamine in the body. I am concerned because I get a couple hundred hives and have passed out from this disease when it gets activated. A skin biopsy found it was drug related from blood pressure pills. I had to switch at least 3 times before I found one that was ok. I found out that mast cells also cause osteoporosis.

@renay110 i found some information for you. Yes, there are some drugs that you should avoid, but Prolia isn’t listed as one of them. Also, mast cell involvement with osteoporosis is very rare. These are some important questions that you want to ask your doctor!

With the number of new medicines for osteoporosis, is there a reason your doctor wants you on prolia? Is there a way you can get a skin test by an allergist before taking prolia?
