Hi, I would definitely try Evenity as gains are great usually. I did 11 months and stopped as I had very bad joint and muscle pain. It was hard but worth it for the gains. Not everyone even has adverse effects so I think it is worth a try if you want to keep active! The pain did subside after a few months and I switched to Fosomax which caused same issues then now on Actonel as I have way less adverse reaction to that. It can be confusing as each of us is unique but over time we each figure it out. These posts are helpful to identify options! Can’t let anxiety creep in, which isn’t always easy, but you do have to be your own advocate! Best to you!
