Hi, I'm on Evenity too but am a few months away from my follow up Dexa.
Were you on an antiresorptive medication prior to Evenity? I'm interested in learning whether the fact that I was on Boniva (and couldn't tolerate it due to GI issues) before the Evenity will affect bone formation. I read that the order of these drugs can affect bone formation. I'm not knowledgeable enough to explain it here but you could ask your doctor.

@followheart87 yeah i heard that too. i was on fosamax 10 years; 7 of them went ok. then i got gi nausea bad; so took it with breakfast after thst NOT REALIZING CUZ PHYS DIDNT TELL ME IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. SO WASTED 3 YEARS ON IT; now scared to be on it for too long dont want jaw rot and fractured hip or leg bone: insane the side effects from every dang osteoporosis drug out there. check into Orthofix google it: prescription needed for year to get An EXTERNAL BONE STIMULATOR WRAR WITH VELCRO AROUND YOUR FRONT AND BACK. IT REALLY HELPED ME GROW NEW BONE. YOU CAN SELF PAY TO ORTHOFIX COMPANY ACCORDING TO INCOME BUT PHY NEEDS TO SAY MEDICALLY NECESSARY CUZ OTHER OPTIONS NOT WORKING. PUSH THEM FOR IT BECAUSE NO SIDE EFFECTS LIKE ALL THE HORRIBLE DRUG OPTIONS OUT THERE.
