Hello everyone,
I want to share my experience with taking Evenity. I’ve always been active, ate reasonable healthy and no family history of OP. Maybe menopause related??? I was diagnosed with osteoporosis (-3.5) in 2019 at 58. I could take OP drugs and 1200mg of Calcium and 2000mg of vitamin D3 or just take the vitamins is what my dr. recommended. I went with the vitamins. I didn’t realize how serious OP was. Fast forward to March 2023. I had one fracture in my spine. By July 2023 I had 6 fractures, between T-8 to L-5. Re-fractured T-1 and T-4. Dexa (-4.8) and lost 2 inches in height. My fractures came from everyday life….closing my microwave, sneezing, bending to get up from low seat, just movement! I’ve been using a walker since leaving ER in May 2023. In June I started taking Forteo. Forteo affected my liver count so I had to stop. July 2023 I started Evenity. After 8 months of taking Evenity, I had fractured T-2, T-5 again. The fractures came from being a passenger in my car ( I don’t drive) so my husband or daughter drives me everywhere. He hit a bump slowly on the freeway. I felt defeated and reluctantly made an appt. to see my doctor. I still continued Evenity the last 4 months. I still move slowly to avoid fractures and have back/bone/muscle pain. My endo says I still have a fracture that isn’t healing properly and the other areas in my spine are considered chronic pain. Finally, my bottom line! I realize everyone has a different story. I just think my experience with Evenity wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worse. I would take Evenity again because I do feel better than I have in the last 16 months. Now I’ve just started Reclast on July 2nd😅 (another story) Stay strong, positive and blessed!
