Success with Prolia?

Posted by yanice @yanice, Jan 4, 2023

Due to stomach issues, I have been advised to have intravenous injections to treat my osteoporosis. I am leaning towards Prolia. Does anyone have any success stories? It seems all I hear about are the awful side effects.

I had my first injection of Prolia at the end of August 2022. I had serious reservations, but my orthopedic doctor said any pharmaceutical has a list of side effects that would scare the pants off you, yet very few people ever experience the bad side effects. Two things she didn't say was that Prolia is an immuno-suppressant and the other is that I will have to take it for the rest of my life. After I got the shot, she talked about the length of time I would be taking it and she stopped about 85 years old, which means she estimates I will only live another 17 years. I have been having fungal infections for the first time in my life that I cannot seem to get rid of. I don't want anymore pharmaceuticals, ever. I want to stop Prolia. I will see an endocrinologist as soon as I can get a referral to determine the best way to stop. I also have some dental problems that started after the shot, coincidence? I am very disheartened at this point and feel I've been lied to by all concerned.
