I just received my 3rd shot. I wish I hadn't. I had not put together the few side effects I was having with this. I have had small bumps on my scalp. Sores pop up on my arms, tingling in my feet. I have been so fatigued that I had my doctor run several tests. I have just been told that I have an elevated ANA. It is in the literature that this drug affects the autoimmune system. I n ...

I just received my 3rd shot. I wish I hadn't. I had not put together the few side effects I was having with this. I have had small bumps on my scalp. Sores pop up on my arms, tingling in my feet. I have been so fatigued that I had my doctor run several tests. I have just been told that I have an elevated ANA. It is in the literature that this drug affects the autoimmune system. I now have a clear picture what all these side effects meant. My body is clearly fighting itself. I will not get the next shot. Do not know yet how effective it has been. I get my bone density in October. As a nurse and a patient, I do not recommend getting this drug. S.W. Naples, FL

Question on effectiveness rating of drug is pointless. I won't know for a year. One week post injection, I suddenly had a bone infection of the jaw causing an abscess. Antibiotics for the abscess caused C-difficile. As that was being treated, developed a lung infection. Throughout this period, skin was also very itchy. Then shortly after that was diagnosed with shingles. Then the C-dif ... Show Full Comment

Antibiotics for the abscess caused C-difficile. As that was being treated, developed a lung infection. Throughout this period, skin was also very itchy. Then shortly after that was diagnosed with shingles. Then the C-diff returned. Now it is a sinus infection. Three months in and my immune system is effectively dead when I was completely healthy before. During trials of this drug on multiple myeloma patients, twice as many patients died, so the drug was not approved for use. There is a strong immune system connection that has not been fully explored. I will not be trying this drug again.

My face broke out with pustules shortly having a prolia injection. It started out with just one or two and now it looks like a severe case of acne. I have been through 3 rounds of antibiotics and am using prescription topical ointment with no improvement. Yesterday I started having severe pains in my right thigh. I am due for my second injection in April. I think I will skip it.

I tool Prolia for a one and half years. I noticed complexion problems within the first couple of months. Two places on my face had pimples on top of pimples. I had a bone density test a year and half after my first injection and was told no improvement. I made the decision to go off this shot. A few weeks after the time that I would have taken the next shot, I was in so much pain. My neck, my back ... Show Full Comment

I had a bone density test a year and half after my first injection and was told no improvement. I made the decision to go off this shot. A few weeks after the time that I would have taken the next shot, I was in so much pain. My neck, my back, the backs of my knees, my finger, wrists, ankles. I could not sleep the pain got so bad. Twice I got down to pick something up and had to pull myself up. The pain has definitely lightened up but I now have intense pain occasionally in places I never had pain before taking the drug. Definitely not happy.
