I don’t know if I fully understand the process. Considering the issues and possibility of using Forteo. After Forteo then Evista and for how long? Is this a forever process where you go back and forth from one drug to another? How long to stay on Evista without BMD decline???

@ipg I can’t give you exact statistics as I don’t have them in front of me, but I stopped taking Evista last year because my endocrinologist said it wasn’t doing anything for me. My CTX score is high and I have backslid from discontinuance of Prolia.
Some may judge me or believe I am being foolish, but I am only using a cocktail of supplements that I have researched and I am ingesting 6 prunes per day. I don’t want to take the more “intense” drugs and can’t take Fosomax due to GI fragility.
I will have a bone density scan in September and will update you then. Thank you and best wishes to all on this forum.
