I received my last Evenity shot (#12) in July and just had a DEXA done. Here are the before and after T-score results:

Spine before: -4.6
Spine after: -3.4
Femoral neck before: -2.9
Femoral neck after: -2.5
Total hip before: -2.3
Total hip after: -1.7

Very happy to see improvement. I was lucky in that I did not have any side effects from the Evenity. Will be meeting with my Rheumatologist next week to discuss what medication to take next.

Congratulations on your Dexa scan improvements. Were these the results over one year? I think Evenity is still recommended for one year of injections. Remember, now you have to protect the work that has been done. Please make sure you are comfortable with your final choice of the next medication. There seem to be a lot of up-and-down references for the next step. You may want to choose a medication that allows you to take a drug holiday once in a while. You may want to check out some of the side effects reported on Connect.

I am thrilled to hear that you had no side effects from your bone-building medication. Good luck on your next journey. Please let me know what you have chosen. Sharing is sort of what Connect is all about. That is how we become educated about our bodies, and both treatments and medications. Good luck to you.

Thank you so much for this very accurate information. Much appreciated as it is also very encouraging. Congratulations ! At least now you will feel safer. It will be interesting to know what will be your next therapy.
I just had #7. So far no insurmontable side effects.
Warmest regards

Those are significant results from my perspective. I have Evenity injection #11 this week and will be reporting the results of my DEXA scan in September. I am encouraged and hopeful for similar improvements in bone density. Thanks for sharing!

Very encouraging!
I had my first Evenity injection mid-August. Opted for the back of each arm, only side effect was tenderness for a day and a half.

Can I get some input on preventative measures taken for replacement of crown? Dentist indicated that I’m at the point where it won’t be considered too invasive, but cautioned that if I prolong beyond six months it could likely be more invasive. He indicated that he would defer to my endocrinologist with regard to what medication (amoxicillin) should/could be taken in advance of procedure. Thank you in advance for your input.
