Bottom line .. have you finished Evenity and then fractured

Wow ... you have had a tough time of it. You and @windyshores have convinced me that my life will not be back to normal for quite a bit longer. Like you, I was breaking bones by coughing, bending over to pet my large dog, and sleeping. And, like you, I am trying hard not to fracture anything. But, you made me realize, that fragile bones aren't going to heal quickly.
Just curious. Did you get a DEXA after your Evenity shots? Did it show much improvement?
I don't know what your endo says, but when I met my bone specialist, he said we would be old friends by the time my treatment ended. He suggested it would be 5 years before my bones were healthy. I was hoping he was exaggerating, but maybe not.

Life is truly full of surprises! After I finished Evenity, I wasn’t interested in a DEXA because I couldn’t lay flat for too long. At the time 15 minutes was too long. Also, I felt since I had 2 fractures during month 8, why would I. However, now I am going to have a DEXA in November. Hopefully!
I’m rooting for you! When were you diagnosed with OP?

@juanitalinda my spine went from -3.7 to -2.5 with Tymlos, 20% gain. My hip went from -3.3 to -2.9. But my femur neck went from -4.1 to -3.7 and I don't expect to ever have "healthy bones." It has already been 3 years of treatment. I don't mean to be negative, only realistic, for myself. Everyone is in a different situation.
