Good evening @gmacookie, glad that you are using Connect and posting your thoughts and considerations. As you may know, Evenity is the newest injection medication to treat osteoporosis. To date, it is the only medication that both creates healthy bone and then protects it from reabsorption. At this point, it is recommended for one year after which it can be followed by Prolia if you desire. Both are products of Amgen and you can always call them and talk with a medical professional about any issues you may have. 800 772-6436.
One of the cautionary factors about Prolia is that once you begin taking it, it is not recommended that you stop without running the risk of incurring fractures. As you probably know, unlike Evenity, Prolia does not create bone.
Please make sure you have read about, studied, and discussed your options with your primary care physician or an endocrinology specialist.
Have you had Dexa scan tests? What were your results?
May you be safe, free, and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris
