What's next after Evenity

Posted by berniebrooks3 @berniebrooks3, Aug 11 11:03am

I've been reading many of the posts regarding Reclast and administering the lesser dosages. Thanks to all for sharing the links to the research which I plan to discuss with my doctor. I'm in month 10 of my 12 month Evenity treatment plan. I believe I saw that @windyshores transitioned to Reclast after completing Evenity and if you are still active I am wondering how it worked out and if you received the lesser dosage? I was on Fosamax (a bisphosphonte) prior to Evenity but had to stop due to the side effects (severe muscle pain). Knowing that Reclast like Fosamax is also a bisphosphonte, even though my doctor is recommending Reclast at the end of my Evenity treatment to lock in the gains, I'm really concerned about side effects and how long the Reclast will be in my system. Has anyone else been on Fosamax, had side effects, transitioned to Evenity, and then Reclast ? I'm really grateful to "all" that are willing to share experiences and resources.

It is so difficult to figure out what to do. I was on Prolia for one year and the side effects were severe enough that I asked to change and was given reclast for one year to "lock in" the benefits of Prolia. I was doing well with the one year of reclase and then on year three, and four, my dexa scores dramatically got worse. Worse than before Prolia. So now I have to get back on this roller coaster again and hope the reclast with help me. Any thoughts !?
