windyshores, thank you for your shared experiences and reflections on the positive and negative aspects of Evenity. As I gradually realize that my efforts at fighting the disease/osteoporosis feel insufficient, I once again opened a dialogue with my endocrinologist. Prolia looks more reassuring because it has been in use since 2010, while Evenity only since 2017. Prolia also seems to have beneficial side effects in reference to other health conditions.'So I am waiting to hear from my doctror about this alternative. The one negative about it is its six months interval for shots. Evenity is monthly. this shorter injection period appeals because if some necrotic effect began in the jaw the bone formation process that causes this in these meds is more quickly removed/dealt with. A quandary that I shall have to resolve.

@lashu are you avoiding Tymlos or Forteo because you had radiation? I forget if it was you.

My docs won't use Prolia and McCormick was against it too. It is tricky to get off it because there is an abrupt drop in density and increase in fracture risk.

Have you seen McCormick's boook "Great Bones"? It goes into detail.

What health problems does it help? I was concerned because it affects some aspects of the immune system and my docs agreed.

I don't know the status of your bones but feel a bone builder like Evenity, Tymlos or Forteo seems to be the best place to start, unless you are borderline.
