Thank you, for your reply. I would like to stop Prolia because I wonder if I will remain "stable" as far as my bone health, and maybe I would like to try for "improvement".

I'm leery of Evenity for the warnings of possible stroke or heart attack. My endocrinologist explained the studies for Evenity showed a very slight increase in numbers in people who had a stroke or heart attack vs. people who weren't taking Evenity. I was diagnosed with AFib last February (after I got off the treadmill for my Stress/ECHO test). I asked my cardiologist for his opinion on Evenity, he explained that he wasn't up to speed on Evenity.

I don't believe I can take Forteo again.

@theofficefan55 I also have afib and have no concerns about Evenity on that count. I read the studies. There was no higher risk with Evenity versus placebo, but slight increase versus alendronate, and what I read was that that may have been because alendronate is protective rather than because Evenity is more risky.

Reclast had a warning about afib but doc now says that is okay too. But more leery of that so will do 20% of the dose.
I might be repeating myself!
