I just had my first injection. I am scheduled for one per month...forever!?
I am 74 years old, I had a Reclast infusion a year ago. My rheumatologist said the first infusion didn't improve my condition, but it did not get worse. I just spoke to my sister-in-law who is my age, she recently had her second infusion. She was told that the first one had imp[roved her osteoporosis, and that it now is osteopenia!? I find it hard to understand as my doctor said Reclast would not improve my condition!?
What should I believe?
Thanks!
Hello @bruceandruth1970,
I combined your discussion on Evenity and cardiac concerns with the following discussion:
"Evenity cardiac and stroke side effects update"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evenity-cardiac-and-stroke-side-effects-update/
Here members shared their concerns about cardiac side effects as well as ongoing updates with research. @bruceandruth1970, have you experienced something that you are concerned about or has your provider shared things to watch out for as you continue your Evenity treatments?
You might also access any research on evenity to see what you may find. You'll soon have plenty of comments here. Is evenity what your doc is recommending? Do you mind sharing your age and dexa scores unless you've posted it elsewhere. Thanks
