Update:6th dose of Evenity. No side effects so far. My shots went up to $4,000.00 a month. Up $20.50. Like they are not expensive enough......already.

It is a shame my PCP didn't understand that. This is her fault and then when she figured out that she should have offered me alternative meds while I missed the dose of Prolia, she lied in my chart. Thank the Lord for Carol Mayfield at Allegheny Health Network's Osteoporosis and Fragility Fracture Clinic. I found her when I knew I needed somebody who understood this more. Even the doctor who did the surgery couldn't figure out how 8 fractures could happen to a person who did not have cancer. He did the kyphoplasty on the 3 lower fractures which did help with a lot of that lower pain which was the worst but I didn't dance out of the surgery like he led me to believe that maybe I could. So, I searched out of utter frustration and found Carol. She put me on the Evenity and was tremendously supportive. I am back on Prolia and still see her every six months for that. I won't be the same again because after 8 fractures and cement in 3 of them, how could I be but I'm doing the best I can and pray for total healing!

I did the full 12 months with no side effects that I know of, back on Prolia in April and get my second Prolia shot tomorrow. MIssing one dose of Prolia (that are taken every 6 months) made me have to take the Evenity because I suffered 8 spontaneous compression fractures.

Thank you for your history with both Evenity and Prolia. I understand that the Prolia can be dangerous if a dose is missed. It would be hard to take a monthly shot with Evenity but my osteoporosis is severe on top of two bulging discs in my lower back so I better turn this around quickly!

I finished my one year on Evenity last February (2022). No side effects that I noted. Now back on Prolia forever.
