Hi Windy.
I get that Evenity is not dose adjustable other than you could half it. I happen to be rather average weight so I just forgot about this point.
As to the longer half life than Tymlos or Forteo that could be a negative or a positive. For me I clearly did not want to give myself injections every day. I have had the experience many times in my life of doing better with more substantial efforts, doses, exposures than with smaller, weaker, milder but frequent exposures. That has been true for me with food sensitivities and with anxiety and conditioning. I once chose to get all my mercury fillings out in one visit rather than the 4-12 visits one "safe" alternative school of thought believed was best. That worked well for me. Based on my life experience, for myself, a daily injection increases my odds of starting to have reactions both of a physical nature and of starting to fear having to give myself the injection.

I'm not saying this to argue that my viewpoint is better than yours. Just thought it was interesting that one persons negative point could be another's positive point. For me I think of a monthly injection as likely to be the sweet spot. I'm nervous about doing the yearly Reclast infusions as a follow up to Evenity. Yearly is where my fears start to kick in big time.

One last point. You are the only person I've seen saying you can't take Tymlos or Forteo after Evenity. I'm going to have to see more evidence on that one. I hope it's not correct.

Whatever you do, whether you continue Evenity or not I hope it works out for the best for you.

@awfultruth this forum is helpful for the way it offers different viewpoints!

I have talked to Amgen and my doctor about taking half a dose of Evenity and they say no. So I probably won't take it again.
