Update:
I had a very productive appt with my Endo DR. I was expecting a short and to the point appt but wow! She spent 1 hour with me. She loved that I brought in my list of questions and remarked that they were great questions and showed that I had been researching deep. She also mentioned as a Dr, it's very helpful to get those kind of questions and it's questions like mine that are shared at the bone conferences. At that point I realized we were going to be a good fit. We discussed my medication options following Evenity and it was agreed that I should transition to Reclast for 1 infusion, then transition to Evenity again. She wasn't put off that I did not want to go to Prolia right now. Very understanding. Some of my questions involved bone markers and testing. We talked about that for quite some time. We will be using CTX levels to help determine when to start the Reclast. She also will order an additional saline flush after the Reclast infusion. We also discussed the importance of being very well hydrated before and after the infusion. And to take Tylenol before and after. I had a concern about the Reclast attaching or attacking my hip replacement and causing a lot of pain - who knows where I read this. I am so
relieved to have this decision done.

Hi @255anny thank you very much for the info. I'm very happy for you that you get your questions answered and that you have a great endo being there providing a great care. If you could, please keep us posted regarding your ongoing treatment. I'm curious how you and your endo will be using ctx to guide the timing for the start of reclast, as well as the start of second round of evenity.

Wish you the very best!
