I don't want to get too much into details, but DW and I are advocates for Prolia.
Started with the injections in 2011, after several serious falls and injuries. Since then, despite a number of potentially serious falls and similar mishaps, no
problems with breaks or further injuries.
DEXA (DXA) tests for the first two years show marked improvement in bone density mass, so further tests extended to 2 year cycles. As far as we can see, no side effects.
We'll never know if the fact that there have been no problems over the past 3 years is due to the Prolia, or just luck, but we won't test to find out.
Total cost of the injections has been covered by our medicare and supplement. Haven't checked lately, but remember the initial costs were quoted @ $1300 per injection.
Not to say that accidents won't happen, but we have seen enough of people our age, breaking bones or being disabled by hip injuries... to want to err on the side of safety. Right or wrong, even if it came to full cost of treatment, we would pay.
And so, one vote "FOR".
