Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?
Has anyone taken Evenity? I understand it’s only been on the market for a little over a year. I’m hoping it will help with my severe osteoporosis. Any information is helpful.

I’ll have my last two injections of Evenity on June 27!! My rheumatologist is pushing Prolia for maintenance, although when I ask about Reclast, he hesitantly says that’s a possibility. He prescribed Reclast in the past (5 years, 3-year holiday and then two more infusions in 2018 and 2020); I had no issues with it.
I’m working on determining how many lifetime infusions of Reclast are permissable and will go from there. I like the idea of having an annual infusion and drug holidays in my OP battle plan. Also, Reclast has been available for at least 15 years and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, especially when administered in a clinic or outpatient setting (at least that’s been my experience).
Peace out y’all!
Beanieone , Prolia is one that I will never go on . From what I have read that’s one you never get off of . My endocrinologist doesn’t like it either .
I really only experienced some fatigue the first 24 hours so I planned accordingly. Yes, I did discuss this option with my cardiologist because I have a metal mitral valve (I three a clot to the heart in 1995). My cardiologist agreed that the risk was worth it. As far as my dexa scores, I don't have them handy but know that my spine was at -3.7 before and after -2.5. I also recall that my right femoral neck improved 14% from what is was at the worst.
Happy to hear this I have 3 more shots to go!!
