I completed one year of Evenity in July. My bone density improved! My spine T-score went from -3.0 to -2.1 which is a 13.5% improvement (the percentages are calculated using the bone density values measured in g/cm sq). My total femoral mean improved from -1.8 to -1.5 which is a 4% gain. I had no side effects except for minor swelling at the injection site in my belly which went away after a day. I have gone on Reclast to lock in my gains. It is an annual infusion for 3 years. I didn't like the sound of Prolia because you must take it for life and Fosamax due acid reflux issues. Over the year, I took 500 mg calcium plus Vit D supplements daily, took walks and did yoga once a week. I added frequent weight training over the last 3 months. It is hard to do everything suggested, but did the best I could. I highly recommend Evenity based on my experience.

That is great news. My endocrinologist has started me on Evenity for a T score in my spine of -4.6. I must admit the side effects scare me especially osteonecrosis of the Jaw. I have had lots of dental work in the past.
So glad for you that this has worked out for you.

I’m hoping I can make it through the year of Evenity, second shots are today. I had a horribly sore arm the day of and day after the first shots, as well as a few nights where I barely slept. If it doesn’t get worse than that and I can improve my -4.3 spine score, it would be worth it.

Wow, that is great news. I am to get my first Evenity infusion tomorrow and have a negative three point eight on the spine Dexa image. And also eryosion in pelvic bone. Thank you for sharing.

Happy to hear this I have 3 more shots to go!!
