@janeted May I ask why you are feeling hesitant about following your doctor's recommendation for Reclast? What did your doctor about the reasons for a Reclast infusion following a year of Evenity?

I did 12 months of Evenity injections. My bone density scan was repeated after the Evenity and I made significant gains in both hip and lower spine following the Evenity medication. My endocrinologist explained that while Evenity helps to stimulate bone density that increase does not maintain over time. Reclast helps to prevent bone loss and maintain bone density. I then followed by endocrinologist's recommendation to have the Reclast infusion.

I did not have any reactions to Evenity or to Reclast. I expected to feel flu-like symptoms and fatigue after the Reclast infusion as these are the most common side effects but I did not have those symptoms.

Dr said I had improvement in spine but not much in hip after a year of Evenity. She said the reclast will lock in the gains I made since Evenity doesn’t last after the year of injections. I guess I’m hesitant after reading all the negative experiences with bone pain….also I couldn’t get a straight answer as to why reclast and not Prolia shots….🤷‍♀️
