Prolia Makes Me Sick.........literally!
UpdatedI have noticed that since starting Prolia I seem to always have a cold, stomach problems, sore/achy joints, and headaches. I am 46 and very athletic but this drug has taken a toll on my body. My white blood cell count has been affected as well. I am on Prolia because I had a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008 and my doctor felt it would help protect my bones. But I feel it is doing quite the opposite. My immune system has been altered in a negative way by this drug and it's not worth the gamble knowing my health history. Sorry Prolia but I'm out. Best regards to all!

Hello, Trace! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you've had.
And you are not the first to report such annoying and ongoing long-term side effects from Prolia, many people have suffered similar issues and had to stop using it. Such things are fairly common with all of the medications in this class.
Have you been given any other options for protecting your bones?
Thank you for posting your experience with Prolia. I just turned 50 years old. This past January I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I've been thru surgery, chemo, and radiation. Bone scan shows osteopenia. I'm on Tamoxifen and now doctor wants me to be on Prolia. I WILL NOT be taking this drug. I'm already dealing with side effects from all my treatments. My primary doctor helped me with alternative treatment, with vitamins, and will do another bone scan in 8 months.
