@doglover1962 it is recommended to do Evenity first and then Prolia, not the other way around. Bone builder before anti-resorptive. And it is not certain that Evenity will prevent rebound after Prolia: what I have been told is that you have to do Reclast.
If you do Prolia, there is a study that shows effectiveness in combination with Forteo or Tymlos, which mimics the dual action of Evenity. Then you do Reclast to get off the Prolia.
Watch Dr. Ben Leder's video on Youtube entitled "Combinations and Sequencing."
Insurance policies need to change! I wonder if you doc could advocate for you. Unless your DEXA's are mild. If you don't tolerate Prolia, they might cover Evenity then!

Yes, I agree with you that you have to take an anabolic medication first before Prolia. I have asked my doctor to see if my insurance will cover Forteo. I did speak to a representative at my insurance company's specialty pharmacy and they did indicate it was covered through the mail pharmacy. I will see what they say when my doctor inquiries about Forteo. My t score is -3.4. Went from -2.3 in my lumbar spine to -3.4 in 2 1/2 years. Going to see a functional doctor to check my gut as endocrinologist didn't do that. Could be that I'm not absorbing all nutrients through my diet and supplements?
