My doctor prescribed Evenity due to my severe osteoporosis. She told me that if my Dexa scan results showed mild or even moderate osteoporosis, her treatment decision would have been different.

I'm pretty sure Evenity isn't prescribed for someone with mild or maybe even moderate osteoporosis. You can't just "choose" to go on Evenity yourself. There are criteria for going on it. The insurance company won't approve it otherwise. I understand it's like $4000 per injection out of pocket. I don't pay this, however.

I was told I have "end stage osteoporosis". For me, it's too late for nutrition, supplements and weights. In fact, I already did all of those things through most of my life. I can't rely on "maintenance" drugs at this point because my spine is already too deteriorated. I need a bone rebuilding drug.

I understand Evenity is like a game changer. Yes, there's a risk of heart attack and stroke. I had to get a cardiac screening before going on it. I'm willing to take such a risk.

Like I said, Evenity isn't prescribed for someone with mild osteoporosis nor even moderate. There are other drugs in the pipeline. It's for someone with severe osteoporosis.
