Good evening @m40 and welcome to Connect. It is almost New Year's Eve and I hope you are ready to celebrate the beginning of a comfortable as well as exciting new year. I am going to share something with you about your decision not to use any product after your experience with Evenity. Congratulations on your improvement.
My concern is that without taking something to hold onto your "gains" from Evenity your successful experience may begin to recede. Evenity in and of itself has some power to hold onto that 9% improvement. However, you may need some kind of bisphosphonate. I am going to ask @windyshores to step up and explain this issue to you.
When you say that you decided not to go on to something that will hold your success, did you talk with your endocrinologist or other medical professional?
Please let me know if you are willing to revisit your current decision.
May you be safe, protected and free from inner and outer harm.

I did a lot of research, and spoke to the reps at Amgen several times. I started the treatment due to the -3.2 T, and -2,9 t scores in my hips. I did had osteopenia in my spine. My hips showed only a slight improvement, -3.0 and -2.8 respectively, with the greatest (9%) improvement in my spine. I am having joint pain, back pain headaches, and palpitations still, after my last treatment at the beginning of December. My research into the prolia and reclast convinced me that I did not want to take either of these medications, especially considering the minimal improvement in my hips. I am planning to include a rebounder as a daily exercise, in addition to the yoga class I take, and I am researching OsteoStrong as alternatives to medication, along with bone maximizer., vitamin D and magnesium supplements. Thanks for your concern
