Timing of Reclast Infusion after your last Evenity Injection.

No, two injections per monthly visit. The reception stated other patients were receiving only one (1) injection of Evenity. She could have confused the medicines. The women I see at the clinic are mostly petite and thin so perhaps that is the reason. My weight hovers near 145.

Prolia after Evenity I have been told. After reading the side effects of Prolia if I were given a full 6 month dose I am certain I would have an emergency room visit. It is not recommended in patients with a history of systemic hypersensitivity. Treatment of osteoporosis is a new experience and I am learning from this blog about the different drugs/reactions, searching and taking notes. I would prefer a drug given monthly due to managing the side effects. Frankly they are all horrible for those with autoimmune disorders.
A bad situation from all angles.

Then normal dose is two shots. I am petite, 5'2" and 105 lbs and my expected dose was still two shots. I actually declined the second shot a couple of times and was told noone else had ever done that.

You can do Prolia or Reclast (or possibly alendronate, which is Fosamax, but only if you cannot do Reclast). My doctors won't use Prolia. You would have to do Reclast after Prolia anyway.

If you are sensitive, ask about having a 1 mg dose of Reclast (usual dose is 5mg) with hydration, tylenol and slow infusion. This could be a test dose. I also have autoimmune disorders and sensitivity. There really is no option to skip a follow up med at this time.

Prolia and Evenity are both made by Amgen and the Evenity website suggests Prolia as a follow up, for obvious reasons. But you can do Reclast instead and many if not most are, according to my doctors.
