Susan I finished evenity in November of 2023 and was very concerned about what comes next. I knew Prolia was not going to happen. 2 endos I saw one an integrative endo and the other traditional and both recommend alendronate which I did start after once month. I’ve completed 6 weekly pills with just a littleGERD at night with #2 and #4. GERD has only been a very rare problem for me in the past. interesting I didn’t have the GERD the day of but the next day and it responded to. careful eating some davison and once I took one pepsis and kept head of bed up. What I’m trying to figure out is
how do I need to stay on alendronate. How do they know when the gains have been locked in. I had text book positive gains in spine gaining 13.8% (-3.1–2.5) and hip 5.4% (-3.0 to -2.7). I did this along with yoga, supplements, regular exercise including weights, good nutrition. all things i can continue but I know i still want a bit
more improvement. But I still don’t know how long I need the alendronate. I do have a CTX in january. but I doubt they will take me off at that time. I considered reclast but had concerns about its side effects also. I usually try the least invasive. Neither of my docs were in favor. I thought nice to do something once and not worry about it for a year or so! Turns out
for me so far and it’s early taking the alendronate isn’t much a big deal. I suppose if that changes I can consider reclast or one of the
docs said maybe
more evenity if I was continuing to lose. I did have 4 fractures between 55 and 67 but not fragility more
from athletic injuries but that still bought me Evenity. I was scared to death of it but it turned out ok. Wishing you the best!
