Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

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?

Hair loss, horrible back and muscle pain! That is just a few of the many horrible side effects of Prolia. As I have stated many times, Prolia has been a nightmare for me personally! It has done a lot of permanent damage to my body., and I now know I will never be the same. It is a form of chemotherapy, used for bone cancer patients. I have reported it to the FDA many times to no avail. Prolia, a nightmare for me! I hope this helps others not to have to suffer as I am suffering from Prolia!

I took 7 Prolia shots, was having side effects that kept getting worse after each shot. Joint pain, muscle pain, skin issues, hair loss, yes. Vertigo which I had never had before. The side effects of Prolia are horrible, and the drug has been a nightmare for me. I have permanent damage to joints and muscles. I wish I had never taken this drug. They do not tell you that it is used for bone cancer patients. It is a form of chemotherapy. I wish I had been made aware of this, I would have never taken the first shot. For me, it was a horrible drug. Beware of the many horrible side effects. I hope this helps others to not have to suffer as I have and am still suffering. Will never be the same. Horrible Drug.

Same drug they are using for bone cancer patients. I wish I had been given all the horrible side effects of Prolia, I would have never taken it! I have permanent damage from this drug, chronic back, joint and muscle pain. And hair loss still! Poison for me personally! I hope this helps others to not have to suffer like I have from Prolia!

Re: Darcy (# 434)

We should number them all!!! I have 2,3,7, and 9 after 2 plus years of no shot.... If everybody lists by number we could tally them... of course it would not do any good because, even with the 3,000 or so responses on Meds chat Prolia site responses, no one would listen...

Re: Lizzie (# 440)

Thanks for mentioning hair cut in layers. I used to keep my hair short but after Forteo and Prolia therapy my hair lost caused thin hair, would come out in hand full. Now I have let it grow out only trim ends. Its been over a year when I decided not to do the injections. I think slayer haircut will cover thin spots.

Thanks for all the info. I think I will skip it. I already have many of the problems mentioned, so guess they would only get worse. I am not Anne.

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.

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.

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: 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?

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!

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!!!
