Evenity….stopped after the first set of injections…

Hi again sedrake 51. Just read your post about the negative reaction to Evenity. I am trying to adhere to good diet, exercise, and supplements in the hope that they will help my Dexa scores/my bones. I shall have to rethink my options if this doesn't work. The black box warnings highly discourage Evenity. It is too bad that regardless of what we take, we have to continue for the rest of our lives. Or it regresses. Tsk.
Thank you for sharing your sufferings. It is most generous of you.

It was my pleasure to share my journey so far with you. The pharmaceutical interventions can have many negative side effects and are only temporarily able to overpower the body's natural bone remodeling system without remaining on pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life, At best, the result is a short period of more dense but less healthy bones. My Ortho in 2017 told me that my bones were “thin” after I fractured my femur. At this time, I added only calcium. I have added significantly more supplements now after research. Walking and weight-bearing exercises are key. Back to walking again! I wish you the best as you make your decision how to restore your bone health.

@lashu you might want to look into the reasons for the black box warning. When compared with placebo, one study I read said that there was no increase in cardiovascular events with Evenity, but when compared with alendronate, Evenity has more. One reason might be that alendronate has a preventive effect so comparions with Evenity might make Evenity's risks look higher. Again, I read this and don't know the date or the most recent research on this. Maybe your doc can explain.
