Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

My first 8 treatments with Evenity, I only had moderate flu-like symptoms the day after so I just took it easy. The last two treatments have caused me to be extremely tired and sleepy, so I sleep for extended periods the following day. It is a small price to pay if everything is working. I feel great after that and play ‘catch-up’. Hope all of our experiences have great results.

My name is Béla, and I’m 85 years of age and in overall good physical health.
I just had my 9th dose of Evenity. Three more months, at the end of November, I will have completed the twelve months of injections before supposedly going on Prolia. I’m concerned about taking Prolia! I have researched its overall effects on the body, and have found mixed reviews. There seem to be many negative reactions as well.
Once on Prolia, I will not be allowed to have any tooth extractions or implants, and that can extend as long as 5 years. Who wants to feel like a prisoner on Prolia?
What does one do if one is on Prolia and needs dental care? If Prolia is temporarily stopped, evidently you lose all the benefits of Evenity AND Prolia.
I wonder if consistent, knowledgable and appropriate weight bearing exercises will be a better choice for me than going on Prolia? Any suggestions?
Any thoughts about this balancing act? It’s confusing about how to prevent further bone loss besides eating lots of greens and exercising…while the fear of breaking bones always lurks in the background. Béla
