Wow, this is a lot! I just had my last (12th) envenity shots last month and have been directed to follow up with Reclast by the Endocrinologist, but my Rheumatologist nurse and my Primary Care want me to use Prolia. I was hoping all would be on the same boat. Only have the rheumatologist because she is local and the Endo is hours away and she just gives me the Envenity the Endo recommended.
I’m 58. After ALL the tests my problem most likely is genetic.
I have 2 old fractures and T7 was bad so a neurosurgeon patched it with a Kyphoplasty.
I am in good health and active. 35th year teaching primary kids so I walk a lot during the day, do weight training (only 2x a week so I know I need to increase that). One concern I have is dental issues. There’s always something that needs attention like a crown or a root canal…
The rheumatologist tells me that I can go off Prolia once my numbers are good. She has taken her patients off of it successfully, she tells me.
The Endo wants Reclast because she says you can’t ever go off Prolia. She would like Reclast for 3 years and then Prolia. 🤷‍♀️
Looks like I have only a few weeks to make a decision.
btw- my dexa showed a 20% increase with the Envenity. -3.9 to -2.6. I had no side effects at all other than injection site swelling and itching a few days later.
I was on this forum a year ago trying to decide what to do.
Now I’m here again.
