Colleen,
To be sure I'm understanding how this works, are my comments reaching out to all members or are you the only one who can see this? I hope it's to everyone so that something I say may help someone. Also, when I clicked on the above link for the fellow member, I did not see an option to post a comment.
In response to your question about continuing with Prolia, I have since read that people with weakened immune systems like me, are advised not to take Prolia, because of the side effects.
I was never told this by the doctor prescribing it or my Rheumatologist.
I don't have plans to continue this drug, but I'm also very concerned about being more prone to fractures if I stop taking it and if this is even true.
I am taking bone builder supplements from my primary care physician, who is also Integrative Medicine. He also ordered PT for strengthening. However, I have had so much pain in my legs from the Prolia I have not felt much like doing the exercises. And walking is still painful.
To make things worse, I have had to increase the Prednisone to help me with the pain and inflammation until another drug I agreed to try, Leflunomide, starts working, which can take 3 months. I am completely overwhelmed and am just praying continually and I know that God will open the right door.
