@lauratys what was the timing of your transition from Evenity to a bisphosphonate? Did you do blood tests to determine the timing or just so the bisphosphonate one month after your last Evenity shot/

@lynn59 you might be reassured if you read the studies on cardiovascular issues with Evenity. There was not difference between Evenity and placebo, and a small but apparently significant difference between Evenity and alendronate in terms of risk, but it was noted that might be more because alendaronate is slightly protective.

My doctor did not do any bloodwork when I switched to bisphosphonaye I waited a couple of months as I felt so bad. I had DEXA 6 months after stopping Evenity and numbers were stable. Hope that helps.

Hi windyshores. Thanks for your reply. I always find your posts very helpful. My endocrinologist does a lot of her own research on osteoporosis medications and her studies have been referred to by Ben Leder. I consult with her on February 20th to discuss my next steps. She did briefly say that they do not know yet if Evenity causes heart problems. I’ll let everyone know if I learn more from her next month.
