I just joined and read your post and was wondering if you are still losing hair. I had a Prolia injection 3 weeks ago and my hair has become so thinned out and I’ve had super thick hair my entire life.
I had my first Prolia shot in January and still am suffering bad side effects-bones cracking, gums inflamed, hair loss, bloated, and fatigued. I resisted the Prolia however several Drs. highly advised it. My osteoporosis is not horrible - I do vigorous exercise about 10 hours a week- weight training, barre, yoga, spinning and take a great amount of natural calcium from foods and supplements. I am 75 with a 55 year old body and Prolia has made me miserable. Mentioned this to my endocrinologist - and she will put me on actonel after 5 months of Prolia. I just want to go natural after all this but I heard I cannot go cold turkey from Prolia otherwise high risk of fracture. Really horrible to be held hostage by this drug. I had endometrial cancer 7 years ago and had chemo and internal radiation- I think the chemo weakened my bones.

Similarly, I exercise vigorously, (excellent diet) basically Mediterranean diet + lots of dairy and calcium magnesium with zinc and vitamin D. I’m at my high school weight. Years ago, I was on Actonel for a period of 5 years. It worked very well. I hope it works for you. My plan is to ask my endocrinologist for that hoping there will be no fractures from getting off Prolia. Did your endocrinologist think that’s a high possibility?
Started Prolia about a year ago and after 3 injections am experiencing major hair loss. My dr says there isn’t any indications that it is caused by prolia but I want to stop treatment which isn’t advised. Any recommendations?
I only had one injection last year, and my hair was coming out in clumps. I've been losing hair ever since perimenopause started about 10 years ago, but Prolia took it to a whole new level. I did not get any more injections. After some research, about 5 months ago I started using a shampoo designed to slow hair loss. I'm sure it doesn't work for everyone, but for me, it's worked better than I even hoped it would. My hair loss is now at normal levels, like it was before perimenopause.
There are several shampoos for hair loss on the market. After researching them, I chose Pura d'or Hair Thinning Gold Label Shampoo, and I buy it directly from the company's website. The price seems high, but I'm still using the bottle I bought in October, and it's nowhere near finished.

Same side effect for me after 2nd injection. Have an appointment with an endocrinologist in a month. Will not take Prolia and am so sorry I did!
