My first Evenity injection will be in a week or so. I was all set to go a couple of months ago, but my labs had expired (must be done w/i 30 days of your appointment), so I had to get them done again before I could even reschedule, and then my endo didn't think my serum calcium scores were high enough, so I had to up my TUMS for a couple of weeks (Evenity needs a lot of calcium to work with). As for Fosamax, I took oral alendronate about two years ago, and though I stayed standing for at least an hour after every pill, I still developed GERD from it, which continues to bother me. My doctor hasn't suggested using the injectable form of Fosamax after Evenity - she has suggested Reclast as my follow-on treatment to secure whatever gains I get from Evenity. I have an appointment with her next week. I will ask why she didn't recommend Fosamax instead. By the way, using alendronate (bisphosphonates) before Evenity apparently reduces the efficacy of Evenity (according to the Great Bones book).

Spine: -3.4 Forearm: -2.6*
Total Hip: -1.9 (7.2% improvement over last scan) Femoral Neck: -2.5

* The osteo specialist I saw said that there is nothing you can do to improve forearm bone - something about the type of bone we have there. I like to imagine that the Crouching Tiger poses I do help strengthen those bones (weight bearing on arms).
