Hi,

As I have said before, my endocrinologist who is chairman of endocrinology at a large medical center in the Washington, D.C. area let me quit. Calculated my risk of quitting and put me on ergocalciferol and Vitamin D (plus my Vitamin B12. I feel 1000% better! I wish I had never started it as I had constant bone pain and lost a lot of my hair! I walk and do a moderate amount of exercise. The other osteoporosis drugs also made me sick but not as bad as prolia. Remember, medicine is big business and the big pharma companies want all of us on as many drugs as possible and doctors are part of the pharma group.
\Good luck, Kaye

I was on Prolia for 2 years and stopped due to frequent sinus infections and rashes, then went back on Fosomax. I suffered 3 spinal fractures within 2 months of stopping Prolia. I wish I’d never started Prolia. Just be very careful if u stop. I’m not sure if the risk lessens as time goes on after stopping. I’m going to try Evenity i believe to build my bones back up. Then not sure. I hope for the best for you. It’s a hard decision.

I have five dental implants already, and a 6th in process now. I've known for years I don't dare take any of the above mentioned drugs because my dental needs are not at all likely to change. I inherited my mother's poor teeth. Despite listening well to her advice and instruction, and that of very good dentists, no amount of excellent dental care and hygiene at home prevents my losing teeth. I'm more afraid of osteonecrosis of the jaw than of vertebrae collapsing. Can we get a bone density scan which shows the vertebrae??
