I have yet to get to the pharmacy. Involved with family health issues (not me). When things calm down, I will let you know.

My new Rheumatologist convinced me on Oct 11th that I should definitely have either Prolia or some IV drug that happens once a year. I finally succumbed and since then I have felt terribly nauseous plus my legs feel like heavy weights and very stiff - trouble walking. I was diagnosed with Polymyaligia in Sept 2010 and have reduced this week to 4 mg. Then the Dr said I should take Methotrexate to help the weaning process....I am so frightened to take yet another drug. I will NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PROLIA SHOT....hate the thoughts of waiting 6 months top get it out of my body!!

I find that when I get mobile the pain is better. But from scale 1 to 10 I am for sure at a (6) now and have been up for 3 hours. Its just unbelievable.

Hi Darlene and all who are suffering from this horrible drug. I went to my Cardiologist yesterday for my stress test - couldn't finish the test I felt like my body was going to fall apart. Anyway he said everything was fine.He also said not to worry about my blood pressure because the new normal is 140/90 I am going to check that out with the heart and stroke foundation sometime today. When I was there it was 150/85, I am still having a hard time with my lower back,calves,ankles,feet,wrists and hands . Waiting to see another Dr. I am so fed up ,all are saying that it is not the prolia shot. What to do next - big question.
Irene

My Doctor suggested Prolia to me - and after finding this forum I decided against Prolia. Today same family Doctor has suggested I consider Aclasta. Has anyone heard of this or had any experience with it...injection once a year? I don't know if it is in the same family as Prolia. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

you need to look further into that! has same issue as Reclast and Prolia. matter of fact have my mother at dr. now to discuss discontinuing use of Reclast as once I started with severe back pain from 3rd injection of Prolia I looked into the RECLAST side effects. Many Many and she is experiencing / suffering from most
Sorry.. but do your homework make sure the Benefits of the drug out weigh the RISKS....

The problem as I see it, one injection a year? Seems the pharma is saving a lot of money on pill making, if you have side effects from pills, you can stop them, but what can you do if you get a shot for a year??? And how long until it leaves your body, if ever? With side effects no one knows, docs don't know. Just a suggestion.
I will never again take an injection for anything, suffering too much, yesterday I was so tired went to sleep at 7:30PM, just no energy, everything hurts, looks like another bladder infection is starting.

Thanks Faith - and Cindy. You are absolutely right...a one year injection and knowing there are risks and you find out too late.....no way!!. I will contact my doc and ask if this is available in a pill form to try out - and if not I will refuse. My heart goes out to all who have had such a bad experience with Prolia and other drugs.

That is not my experience. I had an injection of Prolia last February and I had side effects through October. So that is more than 6 months.

Hi Irene, How did you make out with the investigation of the new normal blood pressure? I was put on blood pressure medication by my internist he wants mine in the 130's over 80's. I did not take my Prolia shot in Nov. all of my doctor's disagree with my decision but honestly I really don't care. I did go back on reclast which I was on for about 4 years and had no problems with. I agree with you on the feet and legs they sure do hurt.

Hi Darlene: I checked with two specialists and they said that 130/80 was the new norm and one said 120/70. I sure wish they would get together on this
subject. I didn't take the second injection I am so sore
but my rheumatologist did a series of blood and urine tests and I see him on Dec 20th. he was the one that said the blood pressure should be 120/70. I will let you know what the results are when I see him. Irene

Well I had my 3 Prolia Injection 10/26/12 woke up 10/28/12 in agonizing Left Flank Pain. All of this was noted in previous post. Besides all the other tests performed Friday I went thru CT Scan ab & Pelvis, Ab Sonogram X-rays of my 12th Rib & blood work all which was normal. I have seen (3) Specialist and given a diagnosis of costovertebral angle pain. That is just WORDS actually specififies place where my pain has localized. These (3) specialist with all tests being Negative state it has to be the Prolia Injection.

According to the American Heart Association and most other authorities, the new norm for blood pressure as of 2012, should be BELOW 120/80. 120/80 is now considered pre-hypertension. You can go to the American Heart Association's website and find out more about it. You need to have a series of readings, however, because your blood pressure can vary greatly due to anxiety, pain, etc. so it is best to get a cuff and monitor it at home so you can get a true picture. Some people's BP always goes up when they are at the doctor's office. It's called White Coat Syndrome or White Coat Hypertension.

I recently started on the prolia shots last year. My Dr's reason was because I was having bone fractures in my feet for no reason, (just walking and I had 3 in one foot and 1 in the other.) I do have osteoporosis. With the first shot I did'nt notice any side effects but now after the 2nd shot there are several things happening in my body that was not there before. First, I just found out I have a hiatal hernia, but more bothersome is the insane itching all over my body and flaky scaly skin with wierd red spots. I have been to the derm Dr. with being told he basically didn't know (hmmm) then to my other 2 drs. who did blood work. While waiting for that I read a magazine and noticed a article about the prolia shot and that is where I read about the skin issues. I had forgotten reading about that when I had the first shot. Is there an alternative shot that may work? I don't plan on getting another shot. I'm still waiting on a reply from my Dr's to see what they think. Thank you

Hi Darlene: I had my blood work done with my rheumatologist and he said that I now have Osteoarthritis, OP and Fibromyalgia. I am in constant pain. The first set of blood tests showed that I had copper in my system but the second one appeared to be o.k. I asked him what he was looking for and he said Wilison's disease. Does anyone know if Prolia causes you to have copper in your system. Just had more tests done and now my blood sugar is 3.1 and it should be 3.6 - 6.9. There is no diebetes in my family so I don't know what is going on. I just had a second blood test done on Monday don't know the results yet. Irene

Hi Marlory
I feel for you, I had my last 3rd shot in September 2011 which is now almost 16 months ago. unfortunately I'm still suffering from side effects. Pain in al joints most of the time, however i finally see the occasional day with less pain. Walking long distances is still not there, 10-15 minutes walks and that is it. Also still taking Endocet 3 times a day.
Good luck to all
