Evinity has been recommended by my osteopath after healing from a broken arm during a bicycle crash. I am 71 years old, do yoga regularly, and have been pretty active all my life. My DEXA score was -3. I am currently taking generic Drisdol 50,000 units capsule once a week and have been taking this for at least 10 years. I have always been scared of taking new drugs since I watched Dopesick on Netflix. I’m wary of starting this drug because, well, you’ve read about the side effects, and I just am concerned about the lasting effects for the future. My mom suffered from osteoporosis and at age 81 broke her hip by simply sitting down on a bed. I don’t want to have any more broken bones. For those of you who have finished or are in the process of finishing the treatment, what are your personal recommendations or warnings? I would feel better if I had some information from real women who have been through this.

eugenia,
I have had ten doses of Evenity with no problems.
The first injections made me really tired the day after.
After that - no side effects.
Clearly, the reactions to Evenity are very personal. While I have had an easy time with the drug, others have not.
windyshores has posted on here about her experience with Evenity which hasn’t been so easy.
