Positive Evenity results

Posted by neesie0159 @neesie0159, Jul 23 12:53pm

I had my DEXA scan a week ago after finishing Evenity just over a month ago. With my luck I was expecting little results. Luckily it was good! Lumbar spine went from -4.6 to -3.0 Right femoral neck from -2.9 to -2.2. All the ridiculous copays were worth it to have my spine improve that much. My new PCP (I moved 3 months ago) hadn’t gotten the report as of today, so I downloaded it from my patient portal and emailed it to her. I still have a crappy spine, but not nearly as crappy as it was. Just a tip, be persistent when you need something medical. The place I was originally referred to for the DEXA said they couldn’t get me in until mid August. Multiple calls later, I got an appointment elsewhere within a few days. When I hadn’t heard from my PCP a week after the scan I called them. I don’t know what’s next yet, rheumatologist was pushing Prolia partly because it’s once every 6 months instead of a daily pill, but I had no unmanageable side effects with alendronate and Prolia is an unknown. Thanks for reading!

What are your plans after great results? Reclast, HRT? Were you on HRT during Evenity year? If so, what was HRT dosage. I’m asking because I hesitate to do reclast after Evenity. I’m hoping HRT might be a better option!

I have been on Biote which are pellets that are inserted . They are bioidentical hormones of estradiol and testosterone. I have been doing this during the year of my Evenity . I am due to start Prolia for a year which will help with BMD and then move on to reclast.
