Hi Laura,
I took Boniva for 5 years in my 50's. I was diagnosed with a lung disease and on Prednisone for 2.5 years (60mg tapered to 0) and that saved my life but took it's toll on my bones. Thus, for me, the Evenity and Reclast. I will have had one year of Evenity and one Relclast infusion before I can even have a Dexa Scan to see the positive 🙂 changes. Two doctors independent of each other made the same recommendations for me. My primary had suggested Prolia and while we were waiting for my health to improve the others said no. They are both Endrocrinologists so I feel it's the best decision. Sometimes I don't know what causes what with my myriad of things I'd working through. I have achy thighs, an L4, L5 issue, and am now on IVIG every 3 weeks to boost my immune system, decrease brain fog, and decrease fatigue. Prednisone and Evenity are done! I have done my homework and clearly nothing is perfect.. I don't want a broken hip or bone. I was very active prior to my lung disease in August 2023, which by a miracle is "in remission." I know how hard decisions can be. I had been through so much that I thought about just living my life and ignoring these things as it got to be so much. I'm glad I didn't. I know that fear plays the largest role in these decisions for us. Best to you Laura, Cynthia
