Hi, I can share about Evenity. My osteoporosis started when I was 59. Took a once a week pill for one year. The following bone density test was worse. My doctor highly recommended Evenity, how this drug strengths your bones.
I started 10 months ago. No serious side effects except headaches. Well my current bone density was a lot worse. In fact its now under Frank osteoporosis. 33% T score 4.3. Very bad, if I fall I'm screwed. So beyond upset fighting to get this drug covered , high co-pays. Family history yes, my Mom had osteo but later in life (80's).
One thing I had a hysterotomy at 48, took hormone patch for 10 years. Once I got off the patch is when my bones started to weaken.
Wish I had better news. I'm going holistic for Osteo.

Hi, upon reading your comment, would Tymlos be something you would consider?
My endocrinologist seems pretty high on this treatment. I, myself am torn as to whether to use Tymlos or Evenity. Injection each day or two injections once a month. Um?! I'm thrilled to have found this group to bounce ideas around. I realize we are all different, but we all want to maintain our health. I'm certain osteo starts after menopause. I personally didn't take hormones. Not sure why, but at 63 yrs of age just decided to get my first bone density test! I was shocked to learn that I had osteoporosis!!! I'm super active, work full time, and in relatively good health. Really hit me hard! My dr said, "Just do not fall"!!! She put the fear of God in me. She further insisted that I start treatment ASAP!! That brings me to where I am now.....torn between Evenity or Tymlos.
