Thank you for sharing your osteoporosis story. I am 76. I had my first injection of Prolia after finishing evenity. Are you planning on staying on Prolia for the rest of your life or do you have another plan? I was toying with the idea of returning to evenity instead of a second injection of Prolia.....trying to buy some time before prolia for the rest of my life. Unlike you, I started with two years of forteo then 5 years of alendronate. My endocrinologist said reclast was out because I had already had 5 years of a bisphosphonate. My endocrinologist does not support my plan but will go with my decision if I want to go that route. I am going to contact Amgen today and see what they have to say since they make both products. I also need to see if my Medicare and supplemental will cover a second year. In addition, I started bhrt 2 months ago including testosterone pellets.

Wow! Thank you for sharing! Great info on Evenity which I still have to consider as I have other serious health issues too. I could never do the prolia though 🙁 How long were you on bio-identical hormones before this and which ones? I wish my doctor was as good but she's not! So Evenity only targets the lumbar spine?

Curious why you have a hesitation to start and stay on Prolia, and instead return to taking Evenity?

My understanding was that you can’t take Evenity for longer than 12 months. I am planning on staying on Prolia as long as it works for me and as long as I am tolerating it. My provider has patients that have been taking it for 10-12 yrs without issues.
