Notes About The Poem

Just a sample of one of the hundreds of horror stories associated with this FDA approved modern drug. I've made it my mission to inform the public of Prolia's dangers. Patients' stories are all over the internet, yet nobody is taking us seriously.

They also state you could suffer from a broken hip as well. Why the doctors keep prescribing it is beyond absurd! Good senryu Andrea. ; ) xxoo

I don't know why it has been so hard to get the word out on Prolia, but you're the first person I've known who has taken it. Shows like "60 Minutes" would help spread the word about its dangers, but the reporters may not be aware of what is happening. Maybe you could try emailing your concerns to news programs. The public outcry afterward would be hard to ignore. Hang in there, Hon! Love, carolyn

How horrid - well done that you wrote to the authorities concerned - I feel like doing and sending something drastic about the up coming shortage of water woldwide - my poem thirst comes first! Good luck in the contest my friend - love and hugs, Jenny.

I spoke personally to Amgen's "safety team" They are full of BS.

So sad, this write, for I feel it is true.

So awful! It seems like a lot of drugs meant to help also suffer the same ailments :0

and this drug which can CAUSE cancer is what our doctors are giving those who SURVIVED cancer when truly, they only need to be told to take extra vitamins C, K, and D in addition to increased calcium. Even those who truly have horrible bone problems should never be put on this dangerous drug. But to be put on it unnecessarily is horrendous.
