Hi @awfultruth congratulations! You are an outlier in the positive direction! Could you share how much 10mo evenity improved your hip and femoral neck? How about TBS improvement if your dxa report has that? Thanks a lot!

@mayblin Hi, thank you.
Well I was an outlier in the other direction in my hip. I increased 2.7% TH and 1.6% FN. So that was a bit disappointing but my spine was way way worse than my hips. I was -2.5 in FN and now I'm -2.4. I think 5% in those areas is more common with Evenity?

In the TBS I had a 3.1% increase for L1-L4 and a 2.93% increase L2-L4. Those are my calculations as the report does not show TBS percent changes. I actually had a slight decrease in TBS at one vertebrae.
In TBS numbers I increased from 1.191 L1-L4 to 1.228 L1-L4.
So my TBS numbers are perhaps worse than my DXA numbers? Certainly not great but I've not fractured so far and I have certainly had falls and opportunities for fracture. Knock on wood to continue that way.

The densitometrist who looked at the scans said it was odd that my hips were so little changed and my spine so much improved but he still said he could see no problems with the scans. He also said not to try to use the TBS "because it doesn’t seem to change very much compared to the precision error of the measurement. ". Still I'm going to factor it all in there and say overall it was just terrific. I'm no longer have osteoporosis numbers. Just osteopenia and most locations well away from the osteoporosis dividing line.
