Follow up on request for information after my current bone density test and visit with my Endocrinologist.
Quick recap: Began with Evenity June, 2020; my bone density test in August, 2021 showed good improvements in both spine and hips. Doctor was very pleased. Followed up with Reclast in 2021 and 2022, still maintained good scores. However my bone density test in August, 2023 showed slight decrease in my hip areas, and very slight decrease in my spine. Of course I was disappointed, as was my doctor. I took a blood test and a 24 urine test to see if there was a problem with losing calcium through my urine. My urine test results were normal. Doctor did mention that Evenity only works for the first 6-12 months. Says everyone adjusts differently to the outcome of taking Evenity. Doctor has recommended another Reclast infusion and then we will discuss treatment options next year. Additionally, I have begun strength exercise classes, which I had never done. He only recommends calcium through foods and not through supplements.
