@jeanvarney what was your T-score at the end of Evenity? Had you been on any osteo drugs prior to that and if so, which one? Thanks.

@cat1203 Here are my scores:
After 12 months on Evenity, DEXA scan on 11/2024
Hip t= -1.4. gain = 6.1%
Spine t= -1.7. gain = 4.0%
I had a Reclast infusion one month after the above Dexa Scan, then another Dexa Scan one year later. During that year I continued strength training (weight lifting) with particular emphasis on hips, and axial spine.
DEXA Scan on 12/2025
Hip t = -1.5. gain -1.6%
Spine t = -0.9. gain 9.7%
Prior to Evenity I took Fosamax for 4.5 years. I stopped Fosamax in 2021.
My endocrinologist was very pleased with these results. I continue with monitoring my diet getting my calcium and other nutrients from diet and on occasion supplements. I also continue with weight bearing exercise including strength training.

@cat1203 I don't recall my exact T-score but I was back in the osteopenia range and close to normal in my spine! I had not taken any osteo drugs prior to starting Evenity because I had 4 compression fractures in my upper spine by the time I was diagnosed and was only 56. So, my doctor argued successfully to my insurance company that it was absurd to maintain my bone mass at current level and instead I needed to build it which of course Evenity does. Hope this makes sense.
