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

Hello Chris and thank you for responding. I did mean Eventity! Apologies for the confusion and for your wasted time in my error. Eventity has been around for only 2-3 years, requires 2 injections/month for 1 year. Heart problems come up as a possible side effect. I don’t know who manufactures it. I appreciate your sharing your experience with Prolia so far; have read some horror stories about it. As for activities to participate in, not sure what that means. What I have been seeking is some way to know the % of folks like you that have/had a good experience with (Eventity or) Prolia and the % who have sworn off after one injection. Or just info on the latter group would be helpful. Any ideas about where to find the numbers? Thx again for your response.
