Jubonnti reactions after first dose

Posted by leslieb52 @leslieb52, Jan 6 5:10pm

My doctor is recommending I start Prolia. I have done the other osteo meds, but my score just put me in the OP category with a score of -2.6

I am more afraid of fractures and ending up in a nursing home or wheel chair.
I am 73 and my rebound drug will be reclast.

How long after the injection does it take for reactions to appear?
Any tips?
Also, how tight is the schedule for the following shots at 6-month increments? Is there wiggle room?

If I get to ask questions, what should I ask?

I am sorry about the reactions you have experienced. It must e very disheartening. Have I asked before if you took any of the anabolics prior to the bisphosphonates?

@gravity3 this was my first and last treatment from my endocrinologist department and I probably will not be going back. I’ll be 69 in a month and God only knows how much longer I have here! What I do have, I would prefer to enjoy some of it instead of spending my days running from one clinic to another to try and find out what is wrong and causing all these aches and pains and feel like I am being used as a Ginny pig!
