I had my first (and last!) Prolia shot on 4/6/23. It was fine for 6 days. On day seven I woke up with so much pain I could not get out of bed. Severe pain in hips, spine and legs left me unable to walk. My vision was so blurred I couldn't drive a car. I have neuropathy and sciatica which were well controlled with medication. After Prolia, they both blew up, out of control. I had 2 uti's within a month (I hadn't had a UTI in 20 years). That's just the highlights. It took about 3-4 months to get completely back to normal. When I told my endo what happened, he didn't deny that it was the Prolia, but said it wasn't a normal reaction. Well, no kidding! I wonder if all these serious reactions are not normal because they never get reported? In any event, I won't be taking any of these meds in the future. I've had fractures, the Prolia was worse.

I was on Prolia for a year. What a mistaken. My hair started breaking at ear length (I have long hair) and the texture was horrible. I switched to Evenity with no side effects but now have to get off it as a year is over. My doctor wants me to do Reclast. I won't--it's a yearly shot so if you have bad side effects--you can't get it out of your system fast. Many doctors don't realize the effect that these drugs can have on the rest of your body. They just think of your bones. But if your quality of life is so diminished, including your mental health, it is not worth it to me.
