In response to your concern on starting on Evenity, it is a very tough decision. I feel some MD's are quick to put you it because it is the newest medication out there for Osteoporosis. You need to do your own research regarding all the medications available. As I have said in other posts, you need to be well educated on this condition. I agree that you might want to try a conservative approach first: increasing your Calcium, Vitamin D ( depending on your lab results) doing weight bearing exercises to see if that helps your DEXA numbers before starting on any medication. Have you thought about getting a second MD's opinion? Everyone reacts to medications differently, I wish you well in your journey. I had my first set of Evenity injections yesterday.... so far so good just minor side effects that I can live with. For me I had no other option.
