After Evenity

Posted by pami @pami, Jan 26 10:21pm

I will have my last injection of Evenity in two weeks. I don't want to have a Reclast infusion because I have had up to 5 in the past. I am concerned about starting Prolia for the remainder of my life. I am 70. I am considering Forteo because my insurance will pay for that rather than Tymlos. Any suggestions? I can't take bisphosphates. They wreck havoc on my stomach.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

It may pay in the future when more studies are done showing a need for it between Prolia shots. That is what my doctor also thought.

@naturegirl5; @gravity3. Not sure which one of you posted this comment but it was very helpful to me. Thank you. I just started Evenity (one dose-no side effects) and plan to take 12. My rheumatology doctor suggested Prolia afterwards: I did not want Prolia for many reasons (probably known here) so I suggested Recast because I had a friend who took it also without issues and it helped. He agreed with Reclast (this would be after checking my Dexa to see if the Evenity worked of course and if it did, then Reclast). He said I could go on Reclast and after some (2-3) injections then take a holiday (not sure how long but presumably checking Dexa for progress after the last Reclast. So I am okay with that and am happy to see that at least one other person on this forum seems to be going down a similar path. I will post my progress as I go along to see if I can help any others.

Hi clj9821: Do you know how long after you finish Evenity you will start the recast and how many recast injections you will have? Thank you
