Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Greetings @maryanneelizabeth, and welcome to Connect. You sound like a most healthy 75-year-old and I understand your concerns about Osteoporosis. I just turned 80 this month and am caught up in the confusion of what is next. I was on injections from Tymlos for two years and then transitioned to Prolia. Evenity certainly is the newest medication and has the aility to build bone and prevent reabsorption. I am very allergic to all of the bisphosphonates which doesn't leave many choices.
I am glad you want to document your experience with Connect. So many will benefit from finding your story. I understand your fear. And I must say I miss playing golf. Shoulder surgery sort of eliminated that option. Just like you, I am struggling to stay ahead of the aging game and remain upright and waking.
So great to meet you. Please let me know how next weeks appointment goes.
May you have a life of comfort, ease and happiness.
Chris

Well, I was supposed to have my first Evenity injection tomorrow. I received a reminder of my appointment from the clinic but they had me scheduled in the wrong location hours away. I’m always looking for signs and take this as a sign to do more research, ask more questions, and commit to my decision one way or the other. I must change my mind 100 times a day. Still not sure what right for me but now I have more time to think about it. I’ve got until the end of April now. Anybody else find this decision so difficult? I’m thinking more weight bearing and balance exercises, a more calcium rich diet and no drugs. But then there’s a worry about fractures. Ugh. Life is hard.

Hi @artscaping I'm a little confused. Did you move to Prolia for a reason or it was 'just time'? As said above after such a good, long run with Prolia I hate to give it up. Evenity is in the mix in making a decision, one I'm truly agonizing over. This group has saved my sanity for the few weeks I've been a part of it—I'm SO grateful to everyone here! Were you ever on Evenity yourself or just the Tymlos and now Prolia? Many Thanks!
