On the 1st injection, I didn't quite notice a full strength burning, more like subtle. The burning progressed into 2nd to 4th injection. 4rd to 7th injection adverse reaction peaked. Lasted each injection up to 7 to 10 days, which included: joint pain, stiffness, achiness, some burning like sensation, poor sleep. Irritable. Very dark circles under my eyes! Was planning to stop Evenity after 7th injection. I had enough!!! Then I connected with this website and reread the Evenity medication insert. Found out that I was at "peak" adverse reaction ( strongest side effect known). I met my endocrinologist, she concurred with the "peak period reaction" and thought there may be a subtle settling or plateau (my word usage) where the side effects subsides a bit and not as long in duration. So I decided to carry on.... 8th injection side effects WERE less severe and not as long But two days from now, the 9th injection, I'll see what happens. This is a bone building drug!! Some change has to occur to our weak bones!! But certainly not life threatening.
I am determined to complete all 12 injections. I have come this far.... and know the journey is not easy with other future drugs ...and ... osteoporosis is unique to the individual ...but all I have is to go by is FDA? AMGEN RESEARCH, DATA......my DEXA SCAN SCORE...nutrition and weight bearing exercises (last two very important) NO guarantees.. I am not perfect, I drink coffee, some wine. I have osteoarthritis, R hip other age related common issues.. So many variables... Just going to live my short , sweet life and will eventually give up what I mentioned as my vices for my best health outcomes. Thank you all for your time in reading this comment. Best of luck.
