Thank you for sharing your information. I am sorry to say I have no sense that my doctor (internist) has delved into this particular medical issue or if he has, there is poor communication going on. My sense is that he may follow some protocol (or perhaps some type of cookbook recipe) in recommending Prolia.
I did try to research Prolia before starting injections but apparently I may have missed a lot. At that time, I also had another pressing but since resolved medical issue so perhaps my effort left something to be desired. Information about treating osteoporosis seems quite scattered with little general consensus about best course among many options.
From everything I am now learning about Prolia, if I was a doctor I would recommend consultation with a patient's dentist before starting this medication.

RJD - my mother was on Prolia and lost all of her teeth. My dentist simply said at this time there is no way she can maintain a functioning mouth for me if I take that medicine.
Scattered is a good definition of a medical issue that mainly affects women. I"m am stopping now as my scattered and sarcastic views often getting me into trouble.
