I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis at age 55. Rather than take any medication I tried adding supplements to my diet and did a year of Osteostrong. A second Dexa scan after this showed continued decline. I was still hesitant to take any medication until during my physical last year (age 58) it was found that I had lost 3/4 of an inch in height (due presumably to compression fractures). I decided at this point that I had no choice but to start taking medication. My rheumatologist recommended starting with Evenity due to the severity of my osteoporosis and my compression fractures. She indicated that Evenity would help to repair these fractures.

So far, I have received 9 of the 12 doses and luckily have not had any side effects. My height has increased 3/8 of an inch. This is only half of the 3/4 of an inch I lost but hopefully the gains will continue. I plan to get a Dexa scan after the final dose in June and will report the before and after numbers.
