Only 53 with severe osteoporosis and about to fearfully take Evenity

@broken13 there has been frequent discussion here, and with my own doctor, about the risky rebound from Prolia. Some posters are doing just one year of Prolia then transitioning to a bisphosphonate like Reclast or Fosamax. The shorter duration of Prolia apparently (according to McCormick, author of "Great Bones" and many posters on here) helps to reduce the rebound.
My own doctor won't use Prolia at all. It seems people are getting a boost for that one year and then "lock in" gains with a bisphosphonate. I have no personal experience with this and am just repeating the experience of others on Connect for you to investigate further. I went directly to Reclast after Evenity (and Evenity was after Tymlos).

Thank you for sharing that. I will look into Reclast. At least I have a year of Evenity to do my research before deciding. I was happily on Evista for the past 5 years, after two years of forteo. However apparently lost very minute increments in bone density that over that time, is now needing to be addressed.
