Positive Evenity results
I had my DEXA scan a week ago after finishing Evenity just over a month ago. With my luck I was expecting little results. Luckily it was good! Lumbar spine went from -4.6 to -3.0 Right femoral neck from -2.9 to -2.2. All the ridiculous copays were worth it to have my spine improve that much. My new PCP (I moved 3 months ago) hadn’t gotten the report as of today, so I downloaded it from my patient portal and emailed it to her. I still have a crappy spine, but not nearly as crappy as it was. Just a tip, be persistent when you need something medical. The place I was originally referred to for the DEXA said they couldn’t get me in until mid August. Multiple calls later, I got an appointment elsewhere within a few days. When I hadn’t heard from my PCP a week after the scan I called them. I don’t know what’s next yet, rheumatologist was pushing Prolia partly because it’s once every 6 months instead of a daily pill, but I had no unmanageable side effects with alendronate and Prolia is an unknown. Thanks for reading!

I am not sure. I meet with my doctor on Tuesday to discuss. I wish I could have another year of Evenity. Forteo would also be a choice but there aren't any studies for Forteo after Evenity. I feel like I need more bone growth before I go on Prolia or Reclast.
This paper shows Evenity being used for 2 years.

I just finished the 12 month of shots with no reactions . My doc got the ok for 1 year bone scan , and then wants to do reclast. Am just now questioning the reclast since I have mild kidney disease
I just finished the 12 months with no side effects.
Thank you! It won't open for me, but I will look for it online.
This is the title of the Article.
Effects of 24 Months of Treatment With Romosozumab Followed by 12 Months of Denosumab or Placebo in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Phase 2, Parallel Group Study
Thank you! I found it. I will discuss it with my doctor.😊
I finished the one year Evenity injections with no side effects. My bone density test showed slight improvement going from -4.0 to -3.5. My endo thought it was a very good improvement. But based on what I was told I thought it would have been much better - at least it didn’t go the other way. You have to start biophosphates, like Reclast infusions once a year when Evenity injections are finished or you will lose whatever gain you made with the Evenity.
I did not have a good experience with Reclast.
I’ve had 5 treatments of Evenity and have had no side effects. My neurosurgeon order a Lumbar CT scan last month to check my bone density. I went from a Hounsfield score of 45 to a Hounsfield score of 80 in 5 months.
Great results! What do they want you to do know though?
