Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 22)

I've just recently had my second Prolia shot. So far so good...a little back pain. I continually have stress fractures on my feet and have also taken fosamax. My current problem is hair loss & I wondered if anyone else was having that problem?

Hope you get some answers. I honestly think the dermatologist saved my hair. So, if your Doc has no answers maybe try that. I am going to read more about immune systems which is what (I think) Prolia messed with. Wish you well-- I hope you hang in there with your job. Our culture puts a lot of power into hair (thank you Farah Fawcett), but that does not get the job done!

I am 75 and love my thick hair. Been using Shann Christen biomethod shampoo. He is hair dresser in Los Angeles. Not expensive, been using it for years when my hair was falling out. My part had no hair, now u cannot see any scalp. He was on tv. It works, I only use that shampoo.

Oh yes. I originally asked that about 2 years ago. Mine fell out in handfuls. Also lost my eye brows. I used Rodan and Fields eyelash boost on my eyelashes and luckily I kept them. My hair has not grown back in and I’ve tried several products. This stuff is poison. I lost weight and strength. Developed Shogrens syndrome. Dry mouth - dry everything! $6000 in dental bills. Lost one top back molar. I took one injection. Told my dr NO More. I’m trying AlgaeCal and Strontium. One of my measures was up last Dr visit.

Hair ,Teeth,feet,knees,now thyroid. This shot Prolia almost killed me now my thyroid is all messed up and research shows the Prolia Shot can cause Thyroid Cancer Can destroy the thyroid. I would not give it to my dog. What I can’t understand is why all the talk why don’t someone do something about the stuff before it kills someone else.my hair is so thin a rubber Band want stay in it. I have wrote wrote and wrote. I have lost another tooth and half of one broke off and the dentist can’t fix it.just a matter of time until I will lose all the bottom teeth according to Dr Selecman my Dentists. The shot is to blame.

Hi
I had my first and ONLY prolia injection in August 2018 . Within one week my hair started falling out , I had restless leg syndrome , acid reflux problems , rashes and bumps all over my body . I soon realised what had caused this , but doctors and particularly Amgen who I corresponded with in the UK , all denied it was Prolia . I lost all my hair except for a few strands , paid over £1300 for treatment and decent wigs , and still suffer from restless leg syndrome and acid reflux, also rashes and bumps but the good news is that my hair grew back after 16 months . Its a poison , no question about it , and a bone scan revealed I was no better off for the drug . I have made it my job to tell everyone I know never to risk this poison being put into your body , it is not worth it . It made me so so ill , I did not want to go on . Whatever doctors and consultants tell you, ignore . Some people have terrible reactions and I was one of them .

Re: Lavettah Brewer (# 425)

how many shots did you take? I took one shot a year and a half ago... had the hair loss.. coming back slow but sure; had a parathyroid tumor... don't know if it is linked but Prolia can create hypocalcemia which evidently masked the fact that my calcium was, in actuality, high.. which is a sign of parathyroid problems. It is like an endless cycle. I am so sorry you are feeling the extreme reactions you are enduring.

Re: pamma (# 426)

ItIt’s been a year and a half since my last prolia injection and my hair continues to fall out I have very little hair left on the top of my head and I don’t know what type of style will be appropriate I’m going to retire prematurely because I work for the public and I feel very insecure I informed my gynaecologist about the situation and he never responded

Re: Dietitian (# 428)

Have hope as mine continued to fall for a long time, then suddenly I found tons of short fresh hair growing all over , in fact I still have some growing which is just a few inches long and growing ! A good diet of green vegetables and fish was a decision I made , maybe it helped . I wish you luck , sadly doctors and consultants have little interest in these dreadful side effects .

I think there has been enough said about this killer it needs to disappear. I think who every said put it on the market selling should have to fix all the people it has destroyed it may have helped a few, it would be. My hair is so thin I have been looking at wigs.been back on antibiotics for teeth again. I’m going to wind up on baby food.

As I have stated many times, Prolia has been a horrible almost deadly drug for me. I wish I had never trusted my doctor, and wish I had researched this horrible drug. I would have never taken the first shot. Hair loss is one of the minor side effects of prolia. I am still suffering from hair loss, but even worst, the back, neck, joint pain. Still suffering, I believe that I have permanent damage to my body! It is a form of chemotherapy! Being used for cancer patients. I living nightmare for me.I will never take another shot. I hope this is helpful for someone, not to suffer as I have from this poison!!!

Yes hair loss is one of the many horrible side effects of Prolia. I am still struggling with horrible back pain, and many more of the side effects of this drug. They are know using it for bone cancer patients. Horrible drug for me and I wish I had never taken it. I hope this helps you and others.

Hi. Darcy here. Had 2 Prolia Shots ~ Jan and June of 2019. Researched and found Medschat, went back and connected many of my new issues to Prolia. Since shots are so far apart, you don’t figure these atrocities to be due to Prolia, but my gut tells me they are. Was pretty healthy prior to this. Started eating better in April of 2019 following the Plant Paradox by Dr Gundry which I feel has saved me from worse symptoms.

My symptoms so far:
1) Skin cancer. Had a Basel Cel removed, and now a squamous including MOHS Surgery.
2) Hair Loss. My hair is found all over the house!
3) Scalp issues. Have small scales, crusty bumps on my scalp.
4) Leg Weakness. Upon standing, suddenly, pins & needles in both legs and HAVE TO sit or I will fall!
5) Finger knuckles enlarged. Joint disfigurement within one year!
6) Vertigo. Often Unsteady on feet.
7) Lethargy. Am fatigued a lot. Can’t seem to get a lot done in the day.
8) Popping, cracking joints. Bones and joints loudly pop ~ all over: toes, arms, legs. Not normal for me.
9) Cold spells. Reading or watching TV and I get cold All over. Inside and in a chair with a warm blanket ~ lasts about 5 minutes or so.

I pray all our Prolia issues abate over time. You are not alone as this website attests. Keep researching, digging and confronting your Doctors when they push any drug on you!

Re: Marilyn (# 420)

Me too Marilyn. Rebound fractures we now have to be hyper vigilant about? For Gods sake! Would any of us, knowingly, take a drug where the bad side effects outlast the drug in your body? Possibly by years?

Doesn’t the Oath that Doctors take begin with “First, Do No Harm”? What happened to THAT idea?

Yes hair loss is one of the adverse event among many others. This drug can attack your immune system at any time in the cycle of injections. It can hit with horrific side effects after 1 injection or after more than one. It spares no one except the adverse symptoms are similar to many other common ailments. Read all posts in this chat room and you will see what I mean. I am almost 1 year since my one and only injection and it is hell for me to function. Every week I have some new adverse symptom, some stay some disappear. I so regret having that one treatment and have reported the physician for negligence and malpractice because she also told me there were no sever side effects and I believed her like an idiot.

Re: Bubbles01 (# 424)

Hi, Darcy here. How are you coming along? Hair getting better? At least a few side effects abating?
I hope so as its awful when it seems nothing is working to right these wrongs done to us.
Are you happy with taking the Algecal and Strongtem?
Three months in on my 1st shot, I started on Dr Gundry’s plant Paradox eating plan and feel it has help to spare me of the severity of some of my side effects. I am a fan of eating that keeps us in an alkaline state.
I read here that Prolia is made from CHINESE HAMSTER OVARIES. And now we also gave the Wuhan Virus to avoid. God help us.

Re: Viv (# 438)

I am at two years with no shot now. Am still losing hair but at nowhere near the initial rate of loss. Hair looks normal... I still use a comb with really big teeth and not a brush. Haircut is short with lots of layers which seems to cover missing spots. So--- there still could be hope, it just takes time.
