What a journey — navigating RA with a lupus overlay, plus managing osteoporosis since your early thirties, takes real resilience. It makes sense that you're looking for others who've tried Evenity (romosozumab).

Evenity is a newer monoclonal antibody that works differently from many other osteoporosis treatments. Rather than just slowing bone loss, it actually helps build new bone while also reducing bone breakdown — which is why it's generating interest for people who haven't had success with other options. For people with RA specifically, managing osteoporosis can be especially tricky because of a few compounding factors:

- RA inflammation itself accelerates bone loss around joints
- Corticosteroids (if used long-term) are strongly linked to bone loss
- Reduced activity due to joint pain can further weaken bones

Waiting until after your 12th injection for a bone density scan is a standard approach, as Evenity is given as a monthly injection for 12 months, and that full course is typically needed to assess its impact.

Sharing your experience on myRAteam would be a great way to connect with others who may have tried Evenity — it's not the most commonly discussed treatment yet, but that community is a rich resource for real-world experiences.
