Any success stories about Evenity to share with fearful me?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (78)Comment receiving replies
I am an athletic, small structured 67 yr old with a family history of osteoporosis. I had osteoporosis from age 52 & been on & off Alendronate for a total of 9 years. After discovering a spinal compression fracture my rheumologist suggested Forteo but after 3+ months my side effects were too severe so I hesitantly switched to Evenity. I finished 1 year on it & have had no issues (other than tenderness at the injection sites) & great gains (into osteopenia range). Now I'm struggling with what to do next to 'lock in' those gains. Prolia and Aclasta scare me! Prior to Alendronate I tried 3 yrs of the non-drug route with a naturopath, nutritionist, personal trainer, supplements & lost a great deal of bone mass. Hope my positive experience with Evenity helps. My pharmacist give me 3 shots & my daughter gave me 9 at home.

@djmm My experience was just fine with Evenity. My history is about the same as yours, though I’m now 72.
My bone scan, after a year on Evenity is all osteopenia, except for the hip which is at a -2.7, which I’m told is just under the ostopenia range. I also weight train, two years now. I will be getting Reclast infusion to maintain my gains.
The infusion center i go to at the local hospital, after voicing my concerns about Reclast, said for the years they have been giving them, no of no one at their center that has had a bad reaction to Reclast. I assume that means during the infusion, not some bad reaction days later.
