Good evening, @chocoholic, Welcome to Connect. Sorry that you find yourself on a familiar sticky wicket.....making a decision to combat osteoporosis. I am having a bit of a problem because Evenista can't be found after searching. in all my known places. Do you think there is a possibility that you mean Evenity?

Evenity, to my knowledge, is the newest medication that not only builds bone, it also protects the new bone that has been created......just like bisphosphonates. Perhaps it is so new that it hasn't yet shown up in a search. Do you know what company manufacturers it?

I have recently finished 2 years of Tymlos. There were no real side effects after the first week or so when I had a bit of a nervous tummy. Because I am highly allergic to bisphosphonates, my only choice at this time was Prolia. I will have my second injection this fall. So far, I have had no problems or side effects of any kind. The scans will show how well the new bone is being protected.

There are quite a few discussions about osteoporosis on Connect. Just type the word "osteoporosis" in the search bar at the top of this page and click on the magnifying glass.

Our mission here at Connect is to improve the quality of life for every member.. Our mentors have been selected for their compassion for others and their experiences with similar conditions and/or medications. Many of us have been at the same decision-making point. We are all living longer these days and want to be as healthy as possible to enjoy our families, friends, and activities.

What activities are you looking forward to participating in at this point?

May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris

Do your research on another route. I switched to AlgaeCal. Waiting for my next DEXA in October to see if it has worked. But I like all that I have read.
