My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Jun 26 2:22pm | Replies (978)Comment receiving replies
In some of the comments in this tread, the possiblity of HRT treatment following Evenity has been mentioned. Has anyone actually done this? Does anyone know of a source of info or have any personal experience transitioning from Evenity to HRTs?
I've been researching how Evenity works, and trying to figure out what happens physiologically after the treatment ends. I haven't been able to find any clear info maybe because Evenity is so new[?]. The recommended follow-up is usually a bisphosphonate, but is that the only option?
I get my first Evenity injection tomorrow, so I have some time to figure out what's next.
This may have already been answered by someone in our group. If so, please point me in the right direction to read about it.

hopefullibrarian,
Best of luck to you with your first Evenity injections!
I have tolerated 8 months of Evenity well. I was fatigued for a day after the first shots. I wish you an easy and successful year.
I had my first injection(s) 3 hours ago, and the injection sites are getting pretty tender. The nurse doing it must not have read the instructions on how to do it. I had to tell her to let the syringes sit at room temp for 30 minutes, and that it didn't have to be given only in the arm. I had her give both in the stomach. The site of the 1st started hurting almost straight away, now they are both sore. I hydrated well and took tylonol beforehand. Now, I'm just waiting to see what happens regarding further side-effects. Will update if any changes.

Evenity is so new there is little info. Amgen suggests Prolia (they make both) and all my docs say Reclast (or another bisphosphonate if not tolerated). I have read somewhere that HRT is not strong enough to stop the rebound when stopping Prolia but I don't know if anyone knows about that with Evenity. I am also wondering about optimal timing of Reclast after Evenity.
