bjgrace, Thank you for sharing that your were "...very hungry the first couple of months on Evenity which is unusual for me." and "...weight gain has been included as one of the side effects (which was not there when I started the medication)." I'm glad they added it to the list. when I told my endocrinologist about the hunger, she gave the typical response that it's not one of the Evenity side effects--and she's one of the better doctors for OP.
I meet with her in a couple of weeks, and will be delighted to share the now "fact" that it is indeed a side effect. 🙂

I've been in additional contact with my Endo, she hasn't yet admitted that the hunger is from Evenity, but she did acknowledge that the tingling and pain I've been having in my ankles and wrist is a known side effect. I consider her acknowledgement progress. She recommended I get some blood tests just eliminate other possible causes. I had my blood calcium and B vitamins tested. Turns out my B12 is off the charts. The reference range is 193-986. Mine is 1933. That can also cause the tingling and pain. I've been supplementing with B12 for several years. Needless, to say, after getting that score, I stopped taking it immediately.
Moral of the story--in the case of the tingling and pain, I may have been wrong. Having said that, I still think the hunger is from Evenity.
Tomorrow, I get my 6th set of Evenity injections, so I hope the problem has been the B12, and not Evenity. Fingers crossed!
