I have been reading member posts for over two years now and while some report good results it seems the majority have suffered side effects from both Prolia and Bisphosphonate medications. It seems to me that once you choose to go on one type of medication there is no getting off the merry-go-round. Once you stop one you have to go onto another type of medication. Otherwise it seems that there is an increased risk of severe degeneration of your bones

Thank you! I didn't have HRT for menopause symptoms as I was allergic (hives) to the medication which I later found out was because the estrogen in Premarin was made from pregnant mares urine! 😯

My course of treatment is ending soon and my endo said that I have to go on something within weeks of that? Doc is saying Prolia, followed by Reclast.

Dr. asked if I wanted to go on Prolia. I was not sure. He said it does not make bones stronger. It just pauses the loss of bone while on Prolia. When you come off, your bones are the same as when you went on Prolia. Anyone have any ideas on what to go on??
Keren - I also have started Collagen Peptides. I hear good things about it, so fingers crossed they help both of us. I also cannot take a lot of medicines like you. Thank you for getting back to… read more
I’m afraid to go in Prolia because of the side effects.
Me too
I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.

I refused bone meds out of fear of side effects and have suffered four vertebral fractures and scoliosis. I am miserable and now my oncologist says they probably can’t be fixed by Kyphoplasty because I have discs involved. But I need an MRI and to see a neurosurgeon. I’ve been in a recliner for seven months and I feel my life is over. Can anyone relate or help me?
