I just completed a year on Evenity, and finished it off with an infusion of Reclast which should last a year. I was incredibly fearful, but my dexy scans were compelling evidence that I was in deep trouble. I came to this site and read my worst fears. but I’m here today to say that I have come through, and it was worth it. I’ve moved from severe osteoporosis to osteopenia. I can resume normal activities. I was in tears in my Dr’s office and so was she. I feel moved to share this, because of how frightened I was.
Before every infusion of Evenity, I dosed myself with arnica 200. I felt it was helpful. I sent up prayers to the universe that the drug would do what it was supposed to and nothing more. I read this forum a lot. I worried, a lot. But I’m so glad now that I saw it through.
In no way am I minimizing the difficulties others have experienced here, I feel huge compassion. For those who are trying to make a decision about what path to take, I feel you. I’m hoping my experience might be encouraging to some, because I would have liked to have read this when I was in such turmoil about what to do.
Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences! I have just ended a year of Evenity and have had 1 prolia shot, so I have not seen yet if I had any improvements being on Evenity. I will do a bone density test in a few months.
But I am so excited to see that Janglenniesmith had great success on Evenity! I would be crying as well.
They make it sound like such an easy choice of Evenity or Forteo - but Forteo requires a DAILY injection and I just couldn't deal with that. I will pray that the Evenity will help me a bit.
Just for prospective, I am 62 years old and already been on Fosamax years ago. Unfortunately I have a long family history of my grandmother and my mom with Osteoporosis which might dictate my chances of stabilization or improvement.
