Hi Windy Shores,
I am following this post and always read your replies as you know your stuff.
I would greatly value your opinion please.
I was diagnosed at age 50 with osteo. As an active, healthy person who exercised regularly and ate clean I just increased all my bone supplements and waited 7 years.
At that time with the osteo worsening I went on Fosamax for 5 years. (I wish I did a deep dive into all this then but didn't) The first 3 years reduced the osteo from - 2.7s back to 2.4s but then at the 5 year dexa went back to the 2.7s. My bloodwork shows my osteoclast activity is doubling again.
That was almost a year ago and I went into deep dive mode. Of course the endo and all docs want to start me on Evenity followed by Prolia (which I really don't want to do).
We thought perhaps I had a parathyroid issue as my wrist was always worse at -3.5 and my serum CA is always 10.1 or so. After doing a workup with a renown parathryroid surgeon they don't think that is the problem so now back to the original meds option. I do not have fractures.
Because of the elevated CA and low forearm score evenity is the desirable drug vs. Tymlos or Forteo. My question is this:
Since I already did my 5 years of 70mg Alendronate would I be able to do reclast instead of Prolia after Evenity? I have asked my docs and no one answers this simple question.
In your experience do you have any suggestions or can point me to someone. There are limited endos where I live and no one has found one who will discuss options.
Thank you sooo very much. You are always soo helpful to everyone.
