EVENITY
Like many of you, I have started from shock, to fearfulness to being
apprehensive what medication to take for severe osteo.
My numbers are L -5.2 hips -3.6 and -4.0
I hoped to be able to improve the numbers with diet and exercise.
Eventually I realized that it might be possible with osteopenia
but probably not with severe osteoporosis. Dr Beck
Onero program is not available in Vancouver, yet.
I am trying to learn hip hinge and squats
eventually I will find a a physical therapist/kinesiologist
with osteoporosis experience.
I do the stairs as often as I can, increasing how many times:
until hopefully add ankle weights.
My threadmill speed is 2.2mph..the goal is to increase every few weeks:
method: increase, count 24 seconds - go back to starting baseline – several times:
the goal is 2.5mph which is maintenance: and the larger goal is 3.1mph
which is osteogenic.
Diet: aside from the calcium and and Vit D: am looking into natural
sources of Vit K (Natto is not something I could consume regularly).
and have 5-6 prunes daily.
So…have finally made the decision to go with Evenity, if approved.
Have not used anything in the past: anabolic or anti resorptive.
Thank you for ladies from Canada for mentioning CTX. It is available
in Vancouver (sorry I didn’t mark down names) P1NP and TBS is not available.
Neither is REMS. I got a CTX – which we pay out of pocket here, so is
Vit D out of pocket unless it’s requested by a specialist. And TBS is
not available either. My CTX was in the 500.
Would be glad to hear comments, or shared stories.
