Updating….I saw my regular endocrinologist and another integrative endocrinologist that is pay out of pocket for a second opinion. Neither can understand why alendronate didn’t hold my gains. Essentially ruled out new secondary causes. Both recommended Evenity again (12) since it worked so well the first time. Neither thought I needed to postpone bunion surgery which is one week from today. I have original medicare and so it looks like it will be covered since i receive at the hospital infusion center and have a -3.0 hip and failed alendronate. I’ve had 4 fractures 2 wrist and 2 rib on separate occasions so I’m considered high risk. The biggest question is what can I do after Evenity. My regular endocrinologist doesn’t think reclast is an option since I failed a bisphosphonate (alendronate) so that leaves the dreaded prolia…. I have time so I think during my bunion recovery I will put everything together to discuss with Dr McCormick. And continue with all the other lifestyle modalities ( weights, collagen, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K, walking, prunes, protein etc…..
I was able to get orders for CTX which I will do quarterly even though the doc said ‘why since you know they were decreased before when you were on Evenity’……….I don’t know what I’d do without all of you!!!!
