Hi,
We are taking the same supplements and I take a few more. I was happy to hear that you have completed your course of Evenity. What scares me is what if I need dental work such as a root canal etc. I am going on my 3rd month and no side effects except more tired than usual. I would think that you need to follow up with another med to keep your bones from losing the gains. I would never use prolia and made my endocrinologist aware of this. I did a CTX prior to starting . I had to push my endocrinologist for labs.
Please let us know what your DXA shows. Wishing you all the best.

yes i will post my results for sure. I’ve gleaned so much from all of these posts. i have many stable crowns but who is to say they will stay that way. I fear they will want me on prolia as all the
literature is pointing to that. so I guess that leaves me alendronate weekly or reclast. I’d loved to be able
to keepup with my nutrition, supplement and exercise but i don’t think i will hear that from any of
my docs. Interested in the time frame after my last evenity to when i need to start something else. I wish i had a baseline CTX but I’m hoping to show up in the 200-350 range. what other supplements are you taking if you dont mind
my asking.

I was just diagnosed with Osteoporosis in my spine... T score -2.5 and I am terrified. My PCP want me to start Prolia. I have done a bit of research, and the side effects sound terrible!
I have been reading about prunes!
"Prunes have been shown to increase the markers of bone formation. They also appear to down regulate the inflammatory bone breakdown factor known as RANKL. Inhibiting RANKL or its receptor, RANK, reduces bone resorption. This is the same mechanism of action of the popular osteoporosis drug Prolia d e n o s u m a b."

Please tell me why others here are against this drug? I NEED MORE INFO!! BTW, I am 70. Thank you!
