Prolia may have helped my bone density. However it gave me many side reactions: such as severe stomach and abdoman ache. leg crams and fatigue. I have to take several other medication to relief the pain. My quality of life have been affected in a negative way. My advise is that do not take the injection if you have stomach or digestive problems.

DO NOT USE THIS DRUG!!! NaturalNews) In a jaw-dropping and perhaps literally jaw-killing decision, the FDA has just approved a new bone drug for women that may lead to worse bones and even cause bone death.

I feel wonderful. My endocrinologist told me that I will be on the injections for a five year period and then will have a break. I believe that a number of people that are posting side effects have ailments that would have occurred even if they would not have taken the Prolia.

I need to make a decision whether or not to begin Prolia. I just finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer and now must take Arimidex (a hormone blocker)for 5 years (my immune system has already been compromised. My bone scan and dexascan show osteopenia and mild arthritis, I have a family history of osteoporosis, in fact my mom can no longer walk. I should have started this drug this week but have to delay because of dental issues and need a tooth extraction. My ONC said I will not be able to take Prolia for 6 months after the extraction because of possible risk of jaw osteonecrosis. I am very worried about taking Prolia at all, lots of people on this site seem to have severe issues. Anyone have teeth extracted while on this drug? Anyone else taking it because of Aromatase inhibitor? I have also posted this under the reason heading:Aromatase Inhibitor -Drug Induced...

I just had my second shot and have had no negative effects from it at all. I took one dose of Fosimax and had severe heartburn and nausea. I decided that I was not taking any osteoporosis drugs since all of them seemed to be in the same class of drugs. I went without for a year and then I heard about Prolia.

I just had my second shot and have had no negative effects from it at all. I took one dose of Fosimax and had severe heartburn and nausea. I decided that I was not taking any osteoporosis drugs since all of them seemed to be in the same class of drugs. I went without for a year and then I heard about Prolia. One simple injection every 6 months. How easy is that? No sitting around getting medication IV. No monthly injections and no pills that bother my stomach and have a long list of directions on how to take them. I feel sad for those who have listed terrible side effects but I wonder if all of their problems can be attributed to Prolia. One person said she felt like she had the flu but couldn't because she had the flu shot. She could have had the flu because flu shots don't always prevent you from getting it. Being overly tired, who isn't? After reading the negatives I feel fortunate that I can take this medication without negative side effects. I have had no muscle/joint pain and continue to do Zumba and Tai Chi.It is too soon to get another Dexascan but I can hardly wait. Thanks to Prolia I am finally able to do something about my Osteoporosis. I have already shrunk 2 inches and I don't want to shrink anymore. I have never had a broken bone and want to keep it that way. I live every day feeling happy that I am now able to do something to stop the progressive onslaught of Osteoporosis.
