Anyone been on Prolia for an extended period? 5-10 years?

I've been on it for seven years. My bone density is now in the normal range for a woman my age. My bone quality is also very good. I haven't had any problems with Prolia. My doc is going to switch me to Reclast now for a couple of years, since you can't quit Prolia cold turkey because of the risk of fracture.

jb123mayo, that is very good news for you. From a T score perspective, what was your baseline prior to Prolia? How did your doctor determine when you should end Prolia? Was it through DXA results or bone marker tests (e.g., CTX, P1NP)? Are you in your 60's?

I'm 65 and starting with -3.3 on spine (L1 -3.3, L2 -3.7, L3 -3.5, L4 -2.5) , -2.2 hip, -2.7 femoral neck, -2.4 forearm. My doctor said I could be on Prolia up to 10 years, then follow with Alendronate.
