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

I should also say that I was off Prolia for a year during that 7-8 year period and my DEXA scores were worse--so I went back on Prolia. That was before we even knew you couldn't quit Prolia cold turkey. So, I might have been able to get off it last year if I hadn't had that year off in between. DEXA scans improved steadily each time. My most recent scan also included a Trabecular bone score for the first time and it showed good quality bone. Very glad to hear that.

I just had my second Prolia injection and I wonder how you got through all the side affects for so many years? I’m a long term steroid user for other problems and I cannot understand how people deal with side affects from Prolia.

jb123mayo, do you remember the tests the specialists ran? I think Prolia either slows or stops bone resorption, correct?. Would you know if it allows your natural bone building process to continue to work (hence your good quality bone)? What type of doctor was the specialist?

Also, what did you do in conjunction with Prolia re diet and exercise?

I really appreciate input.
