Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Jun 4 11:43pm | Replies (661)Comment receiving replies
Hello dgm123,
My situation is very similar to yours. I am 67. My t-scores are -3.3 for the spine and -3.0 for total hip. My rheumatologist has recommended Evenity.
I have declined medications before. I am considering trying Evenity.
I am concerned about side-effects. I am also concerned that the drug
might not work for me.
I also do not want to do daily injections for 2 years.
Please let me know if you decide to try it and if you have side-effects.
If you have anything you would like to ask me, please do.
Respectfully,
Tina R

Hi Tina. Still waiting to hear back from the doctor regarding any assistance I can have with the cost
But as I said I need to do something to prevent fractures that may be deadly and I do not want to take an injection daily so I believe that evenity is my best choice if I can afford it that is. I will keep in touch with you once I try it and tell you how I make out.

Evenity is not daily injections but done once a month at the MD office/infusion center. I was going to try Evenity but am doing Tymlos first. Tymlos is daily self-injection. Evenity would probably be a good approach if you don't want to do the daily shots and people don't generally complain about side effects (with exceptions of course).
