Hello @nannygoat5,
This is a great discussion to get started. You make a great point about sometimes finding only negative results despite there being positive results out in the world as well.
I'd like to invite @monkhhi to this conversation. @monkhhi started a discussion based on their positive Evenity experience after prolonging treatment because of being scared off by reading the experiences of others:
"Evenity worked for me: Why I chose medication for osteoporosis"

I'd also like to invite @neesie0159, @kristie2, @gravity3 and @pami who all shared their positive experiences as well.
@nannygoat5, if you are comfortable sharing - do you have a positive experience to share with your osteoporosis journey - A successful lifestyle change or medication experience?

I have been on this thread and just shared my experience with Prolia so far.
@nannygoat5 You can read my entire response on the “Evenity worked for me” discussion:

In short, I did one year of Evenity injections with no side effects other than tenderness at the site of the injection. That tenderness was gone within 24 hours. After the one year on Evenity.
I then had an infusion of Reclast. Again, no side effects at all. Some people do experience flu-like symptoms following a Reclast infusion but I did not.
I think you and others are correct. Many people who have good experiences on meds including osteoporosis medication do not post. I think you are wise to consider the options and discuss these all thoroughly with your doctor. Do you see an endocrinologist for osteoporosis?

I’m in the beginning of my journey! I’m a carrot not a stick person lol - so I’d like to hear good outcomes. I feel one’s mental health is important to overall health and healing. Thanks for asking!
