@normahorn did you get them to save the second syringe? This is costing me $427 and I am only getting half. It may be too late this time but next time I will tell the nurse I want to save it. Part of the charge is, no doubt, administration in the office and I wish I could do it myself. I would do 1 1/3 syringes!
Another issue is the longish half life so there is still some Evenity still active at 30 days, hence the "steady state" after the third dose.
I have pins and needles all over. Tolerable but at the full dose, it could be hard to tolerate.
Did you continue with one shot or did you stop?

I have not started yet and may not. At first she stated that she was prohibited by state law to go off-label when I started exploring half dosages and then came around that she would do that for the first 2 months. At our initial appointment, I asked how long the drugs would be in my system if I had a reaction. She told me that Evenity would clear in a couple of days and Prolia in about a month. Then she tried to put me off when I asked if I would be starting a life-time commitment to medications. I know plans can and should change at times but I wanted to know what the basic plan was. My confidence in her is not great, to say the least.
