Evenity….stopped after the first set of injections…

There was no intent to mislead. I am thrilled if someone can leverage one of the pharmaceuticals to improve bone health. However, I stand by my statement that I don’t want to take another pharmaceutical for the rest of my life. I should have indicated more clearly that yes, you can hopefully maintain the new bone growth by staying on pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life and if you don’t, you will lose your improvements after building bone growth. I understand the need for bone growth and maintenance especially since I have endured so many fractures. Since my body rebelled against Evenity, I have chosen to go another route. I just don’t believe that my body tolerates anything foreign very well.
I appreciate your comments and wish you well on your continuing bone health journey!

@sedrake51 I have not been told that I will be on meds for the rest of my life. Instead I have been told that using blood tests to monitor, I can take med breaks once Reclast "locks in" my gains.
On Reclast my spine went from severe osteoporosis to borderline, a 20% gain. Femur gained 9% but femur neck is still a problem.
I had osteoporosis for years and tried to get on medications most of that time. My body reacts to meds and lots of other things. As I have written, I finally got on Tymlos because the dose is adjustable and I felt safe, starting at a low dose and ramping up. My gains were achieved without being on a full dose most of the two years.
I respect the desire to use natural approaches but my difficulties in getting on meds (and cancer meds) left me with several spinal fractures, a lot of pain and disability, so I naturally post to encourage others so they avoid what I have suffered. It looks like you have suffered a lot too.
ps did you take strontium at all?
