Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Thank you for sharing. I too am struggling with the decision to take Evenity, which is scheduled for next Wednesday. I like my doctors very much and dislike ignoring their advice, but I am conflicted.

Started evenity Friday. No noticeable side effects yet other than a bit of soreness at injection sites.
The one thing I would say to you is liking your docs won't ever be the same as doing what you feel is best for your body and your life. Would a second opinion help?

Lash,
It is a hard decision! To me it all depended upon my T score of my spine which was -4.6 and I need to get out of that hole. I needed to take a anabolic bone med to help rebuild my bones along with stopping the breakdown. I am 1 month in with starting Evenity which to me in a 1 year time had the best turn around and the others are for 2 years with a daily injection. I know I will then have to take an oral med afterwards. That is the case with this whole journey. From reading all these comments most of us feel the same way and the process is scary. I still worry about side effects.
