Hi Maureen. I too am supposed to start a parathyroid stimulator and was anxious to speak to someone that had taken it. Any side effects? I am nervous about trying this. I haven't had any fractures (yet) but I have lost about an inch in height. My doctor said 2 years of parathyroid medication and then Prolia would be the next step. I feel great and am active and in no pain so trying to assess the risk / benefit of medications..

Hello Scracer47. I too am in my 4th year of Prolia injections. I had a huge fracture at age 50. My endocrinologist in Boston told me the oral bisphosphonates were not an option. I started 2 years of daily injection of the Parathyroid stimulator. No fracture for 3 years. Had 1 IV infusion of Reclast and fractured again a year later. Started Prolia with no adverse reaction other than sweating (not a usual side effect.) My MD has told me that some new studies show that people tolerate Prolia well for up to 10 years.

I’ve been having Prolia injections for 4 years with no known side effects & my last BDS showed I’m now back to Osteopenia .
