Prolia

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Turlock, CA

Has anyone taken Prolia and stopped? I have not taken it yet tho has been offered to me. Took all other osteo meds but had to quit due to digestive issues. I know the drugs I took caused the acid reflux and gerd issues, 5 yrs of taking them. Then 3 yrs of taking PPI's for the stomach. Which did nothing but harm for the bones. Am now taking nothing except vitamins and supplements and feeling so much better. Hate the thought of taking the Prolia after researching side effects.

I have taken Prolia since 2014. and the only side effects I have from it is and this might not be from the drug. is bone pain. other than that I had no problems. I know that it has helped my T's scores. and my bones have gotten healthier. I wish that there was a magic drug to help all with the osteo problem. but all drugs have some side effects. Like you I took the pills and cause acid reflux and hurt my stomach. then I took shots once a week for 2 years was tired of being a pin cushion. and that didn't work either. Prolia has worked. I don't like taking any drugs but it's better than having broken and fractured bones. do the research and get information from all you can. don't forget to take Vitamin D with it. I hope you find the information that you are looking for. keep in touch. hugs to you.

I cannot give much advice on the Prolia Injection because I've only had one on August 19 this year I thought I was doing alright but I started with these headaches more like bone pain in my scalp and I'm not sure if its from Prolia although the pamphlet they gave me does say headaches are possible but other than that I've had little bone pain like they said I could have until my system gets use to the Injections but I certainly will keep you posted:

Saw my endocrinologist today... he recommended Reclast vice Prolia. He mentioned studies showing bone deterioration after stopping Prolia. I’m personally on the fence w taking any osteoporosis med...

I have just been given an appointment for the injection. In the UK my Endo called it Denosumab. I have read good and bad but nothing about arthritic/fibromyalgia pain so far. This is very worrying to me as I imagine if true it will also create further muscle spasms which already ruins my quality of life? As in the first question all the meds previously given for years have completely ruined digestive system. I'm now also seeing a gastro specialist who has done many tests but as yet no diagnosis!
