Finishing Evenity, now what?
I am on my 11th shot with only 1 to go. I am going to pay out of pocket for a new Dexa scan and hopefully I see some improvements, I also have my endocrinologist appointment after my last shot. I know everyone is different but what was your treatment after evenity? What questions should I be asking? My last conversation with my endocrinologist was we need to start reclast after my last shot but I'm confused because I started Evenity to avoy reclast so I'm at a loss at what other options I could have? If you have any advise I'd appreciate it.

I don’t have any advice on that but your Dr can use a different diagnosis code so you can get a DEXA after a year. Unfortunately I don’t know that code, but the Dr I just consulted with suggested Evenity for my OP and I asked if I could do another scan at a year and she said yes she can do this by changing the code. It’s worth asking them about.
In 2022 I began Evenity the month before my last Evista injection .
The Evista brought me out of osteoporosis into osteopenia.
I have remained on a daily dose of Evenity and the DEXA shows that I am still in osteopenia.
That is what has worked for me.
I cannot recommend this for you, but it is an option you may wish to discuss with your medical team.
Wishing you all the best.
