My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I am the same. That I did not go on HRT after my hysterectomy is my regret. It supposedly caused breast cancer. Been on Prolia for three years and it worked great for two years but this dexa showed no improvement. (-2.9 In lumbar) now I am being referred to an endocrinologist but interested in trying evenity. Not sure what is best.

Hi, My bone loss tracked menopause very well. Because I was so fit, the FRAX score was always low and treatment not recommended. Then, I became osteoporotic. FRAX is a poor substitute for common sense.

Now that I have osteoporosis, I had 2 injections of Evenity (May & June 2024), but stopped due to severe exhaustion. I started self pay HRT in August. I had a Reclast at 3 months post Evenity (Sept 2024). My dexa, (12-2023) 5 months prior to starting evenity, showed osteoporosis in 3 areas. An Oct. 2024 self pay Dexa showed significant improvement. (A self pay dexa is inexpensive and well worth it). I will have another self pay dexa in January 2025 to confirm, and will report on the actual numbers afterward.

I did not want to risk loosing more bone, so I'm being aggressive in treatment and monitoring. I'm fortunate that my MDs are open minded.
