After Evenity..what’s next ?

[Wyaatch]

Has anyone heard of good options after the 12 months of Evenity are over? It has to be a med that will maintain the new bones….anyone at the stage of this second follow up?

In the UK, it's recommended to either go onto a bisphosphonate or onto Prolia. If you switch to Prolia, if/when you stop that you have to go on a bisphosphonate!

My doctor has advised that I'll need to go onto Prolia for 3 years (so, 6 injections likely, one every 6 months). I'm actually hoping to do only 2 years but we'll see. Then, once Prolia is done, there will be ONE injection of Reclast. I'm not happy about any of it but the calcium, vit D, weight bearing exercises didn't work for me at all. I've had 5 Evenity shots thus far.

Are you ok with the evenity no side affects? Were you concerned at all about going on it since it has only been out since 2019

I've had 5 injections of evenity with no issues so far. I remember reading on here that someone had a problem after the 11th injection and stopped then but I'm hoping for the best. And YES, I was/am very concerned about all of these meds .... I fought going on them for several years. In fact, since I waited so long, when it was "strongly" recommended that I start treatment, I couldn't do the Fosamax (which I didn't want to do anyway because of stomach, esophagus issues I had read about) because the doctor said it would really have no impact for me at this stage since my numbers were so bad ....... so evenity was recommended to get the best outcome. I am just praying for the best and hoping that it won't turn out to be a mistake.
