I had a severe allergy to forteo. doc wants me on prolia for severe metabolic osteoporosis. is it similar? i don't want to die from injection.

Different: Prolia is different than forteo. The mechanism of action is completely different. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. His/her recommendation is within the standard of care for osteoporosis treatment.
