There once was a fellow named Timothy Flood
Where most folks have a brain he had only a spud!
When I asked why I needed those shots in my eye —
“Because you’re on Prolia” was his reply!
I knew if I missed that next Prolia shot,
Backbones would break! But what choice had I got?
Did I want to be lame? Or rather be blind —
Making this choice was plaguing my mind.
But I feared for my eyes, so I skipped that bone shot.
Three vertebrae broke, and the worst pain I got!
Now that dummy is gone and I DON’T wish him well,
I hope he’ll soon be with the Devil in Hell!
Go to his website, and here’s what you’ll see.
He loves to have fun! Well he had fun with me!
Like I’m stabbed I the back with a horrible knife,
And I’ll live with that pain for the rest of my life.

The Smiling Face of Ignorance
P.S. As I learned later, from a physician who knew the correct answer, Prolia was NOT the problem. My age related macular degeneration was because I had osteoporosis -- which I would have whether or not I were on Prolia!
Up until then, I had great respect for physicians. But I still live with the pain of those unnecessarily fractured vertebrae (caused by the Prolia shot I skipped) that remind me every day that a medical degree does not necessarily mean someone knows what they are talking about! ###
