My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

Thank you for your well thought out reply.

I have considered Reclast. However, I was unable to tolerate Fosamax which is also a bisphosphonate.

Prolia has significant side effects and with the possibility of multiple spinal fractures when you go off of it in 3 to 5 years, I am inclined to avoid that medication.

There do not appear to be any studies showing whether repeating annual doses of Evenity will produce bone growth.

That leaves hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which has its own consequences as you pointed out.

All treatment options have consequences. I am weighing quality of life versus quantity of life as I look over all options.

Take care and thank you for your reply.

Was GERD the problem with Fosamax? Reclast at least doesn't cause that. As I wrote, my doc said if the current med brings enough improvement, Reclast could be given as a partial dose, things could be monitored, and unlike with Prolia, you can take a break.

What about Tymlos or Forteo.

I have no genetic risk for breast cancer and sometimes blame my few months on HRT for my estrogen-driven cancer. But that isn't really fair. Still, they don't seem to prescribe it for over 60. Maybe Evista?

I know you didn't ask for another response, but I can't help myself sometimes 🙂
