Hello, I would like to know if you al ready had the injection each 6 months of Prolia ( denosumab ) as a replacement of Fosamax ( alendronate )? Had you problems, big side effects? Thanks to the advance for your answers and your help.
I promised to Eileen that I will make a follow-up because I had written a comment in the beginning of december because my endocrino suspected that I suffered from PMR but she did not treat me adequately. She gave me the hydrocortisone while the PMR is treated with the prednisone. I saw my family doctor and he took care of my PMR at the rate of 20 in the daytime. I was happy because it is one of those who believe that the weaning of the prednisone has to be very slowly made. For some, they will have to take one 5 mg in the daytime for the rest of their life. With his opinion(notice), we shall envisage no weaning before 6 months. It thus is to say that I get much better and I am feeling very confident with my GP because he know PRM and how to treat it. I talked to him about Pred and osteoporisis. He said: It's true, but you must take Pred for a while and treated you to prevent osteoporisis as much as possible. It would be preferable never taken Prednisone, but unfortunately, in certain cases, one needs.
The prednisone has changed my life !!

I was unable to take any of the biphosphonates (of which AA is one) as they caused major muscle pain among other things. Denosumab is classed as a biphosphonate, but it works in a different way to the others. I've been very pleased with it.
