@hollygs, thank you once again for your kind response. I am having a heck of a time finding an expert anywhere in the whole state of Texas who is not booked through June of 2026 where new patients are concerned. Were you an established patient with the wonderful doc who gave you a quick video visit? Some I've contacted won't do telemedicine with a new patient, and if you were a new patient with this doc, please tell me how you convinced him to see you! 🙂
I am stressing something awful over this, which I know is so counterproductive and unhealthy. Today, the endo who originally said she'd prescribe Evenity backed off from that, and my rheumatologist is discouraging me as well. They will give it to me if I truly want it, but at the same time keep telling me "the standard of care is NOT to prescribe Evenity to anyone with a cardiac issue." When I bring up the contradictory study results (re: cardiac events with Evenity), they acknowledge them. But because the "standard of care" rules have not officially changed, I am being left on my own to choose. Enormously stressful and frightening
I am considering doing what they would like -- a Prolia injection -- just to buy myself some time to find a real expert. But am not happy about that at all.
In any case, thank you for listening to all this, and thank you for understanding what a rough go this can be! I wish you all good health! 🙂
