Kmp88, this was alarming news. I am due to start Evenity in a few weeks ...some things that I am curious about: your age bracket and any other info that could explain such an extreme outcome?
I thought that I had covered all of my prep for this by going to my dentist and my cardiologist to get approval for this drug. I am a pretty healthy 77 year old, who has postponed bone meds for about 17 yrs. Through a calcium rich diet...strength and cardio ex at least 3 days a week...active in between...now facing -3.5 in my femoral neck area. It seemed like the time is now to deal with it.

I am back to diet and exercise. I now work out 7 days a week for about 45 minutes with both jogging and lifting weights to hopefully build bone. I am also told that new measurements such as trabecular scores are better measurements of bone quality than just bone density measurements. My trabecular scores are above average.

I am 67 years old and very active and healthy. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis quite a few years ago which was surprising to me. I suspect that being born in Asia, drinking milk was not the norm and also the local water was not floridated. I have not had a bone scan since the ablation surgery.

I don’t know if my reaction is just specific to me. It feels like the Evenity shots acted like stimulants to my system. I have never had any heart issues prior to taking Evenity and nobody in my immediate family has either.
