I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with IBS-Mixed and Osteoporosis. I had been prescribed Fosamax for 1 yr, then Reclast IV for 1 yr. Afterwardsmy Endo placed me on a drug holiday for 1 year and I had a spontaneous hip fracture and then a Total Hip Replacement. At my last Dxa scan my L2-4 T score decreased significantly. My
Endo wanted me to start Evenity. I declined. I have been doing the following; attending a Clinical Bone Health strength training class 3 x per week, started BHRT, increased protein in my diet, get good sleep, and socialize. My annual Dxa is in November. My question : for those of you taking Evenity, how much T score improvement did you gain over the time taken? Did anyone have a Heart attack or Stroke? Please comment.

Thank you.

@llapinski
I had great improvement in scores with Evenity but ended with a side effect of left femoral pain due to cortical thickening in left thigh, which is cause by long use of meds (previous had Reclast x 3 with no effects). This started on 10th month of Evenity. I have had no relief of this with meds or injections. I can barely walk. I recommend injections in abdomen as they are less painful. Good luck. I will not longer do anything but exercise and supplements as I do not have a life since Evenity. Age 77
