Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

I replied on the Evenity thread (and should have replied here). It is difficult to respond though without knowing your DEXA scores and whether you have fractured. With LCIS, and DEXA's that aren't too severe, raloxifene might be a good choice, as your doctor said. Tymlos can be taken at a low dose and then ramped up. Reclast is also used for cancer patients as well as for osteoporosis. They all have side effects listed. There is no way to know in advance how your body will react. Often starting at a low dose (this can be done with Reclast as well) and working up can be a good approach. After Tymlos my doc is going to try 1/4 dose Reclast administered slowly with meds beforehand, because I am sensitive.

is it possible to start with a low dose of prolia and then gradually increase? Or is it possible to take a lower dose at shorter intervals?

Thank you, This sounds like very good advice ! My allergist has set up a pre treatment regimen for my vaccines. I am sure he would do the same for an osteoporosis medication. I also really like the plan to start out with a low dose. I had a tetnus booster this summer and my allergist split the dose in half and gave me 1/2 in each arm after I had pretreated. It really helps me to hear what you did. Thank you again. I need to have a plan in place by March 21st.
