Have you decided what you are going to do after your finish the Evenity? I am only half way through Evenity but starting to think about what I do next.

I am considering reclast rather than prolia. I am half through with evenity. I am 75 1/2

I just had my 8th Evenity injections and have decided to go on Reclast next.
I saw my dentist yesterday and told her (again) how worried I am about necrosis of the jaw. She told me to stop worrying about it as it doesn’t just appear, but may be a problem if I had to have a tooth pulled. I actually have more faith in her than I do the endocrinologist.
So, I have ceased worrying about Evenity and now worry about Reclast. 😏

I wish I had started earlier to do research to figure out what comes next. After many many hours, I have narrowed it down to two options: Reclast or Actonel.
My preference would be to do the once a year infusion of Reclast for two reasons: I already have GERD so don't want any medication that can make that situation worse, and I also have a family history of kidney failure/disease so prefer not to take any drugs by mouth. I so wish one of these options was a skin patch instead!
If I cannot do Reclast in my rural area in Canada, then my second choice would be Actonel but again the monthly not daily or weekly dosages. Hope this might help someone else make a very difficult decision!
