Chris you are correct on all points. Evenity helps build new bone as long as you are taking at least 1200 mg of calcium and 4000 units of Vitamin D3 a day. Weight bearing exercise will also help. I have not been able to exercise much due to my neuropathy yet my first Dexa scan after only about 4 months showed significant improvement in my spine, but some loss in my hips which I think is because of the lack of exercise. Yes, I expect to be on Prolia forever just to maintain the gains I have made with Evenity. I hope I can tolerate Prolia as I am prone to side effect from most medicines. I did not have any significant side effects with Evenity. No bone pain. Almost everything I take causes me to be tired.

I gather that you are not having any side effects with Prolia.

I will have a Dexa scan in June to see where I stand at the end of Evenity treatment and I'll share that here.

You have some good scan numbers. That is good to see. Good luck with the move to Prolia. Fingers crossed because we have to protect the hard work you have been doing with Evenity.

May you be safe, protected and free.
