I am newly diagnosed with osteoporosis and have been started on monthly injections of Evenity. Nothing was explained to me about Evenity...good or bad.

I have other medical problems that specialists are treating.
I am on a multitude of
medications. I am always having to check the benefits of a new medication and any adverse effects it might have on me. I always have to be aware of any contra-
indications to any of my other medications.

It has made me be aware that I have to be my own advocate for my health.

I was put on Prolia without any mention of rebound effects when going off it or anything else. I suffered terrible reactions from it. Aching joints, bleeding swollen gums and hair loss just to mention a few side effects. I am now on actonel once a week which I have been tolerating. My osteoporosis readings aren't horrible -I exercise vigorously - have a high vitamin d content in my body and have a lot of natural calcium in my diet. The doctors scare you about falling and dying within a year of fracture. However the side effects of these medications are bad. You are correct you have to be your own health care advocate.
