Anyone taken Evinity without side affects

@pami Thank you, and yes I was doing all kinds of supportive stuff. The supportive stuff had not been enough in the past to stop me from continuing to lose bone. But I am more organized and consistent about it now than in the past. So while doing Evenity I was doing 2 days a week of LIFTMOR like heavy resistance exercise, 2 days of bodyweight core and therapeutic exercises, and 2 days of Beat Saber VR fun/exercise and 6-7 days of walking 2 miles with about half the walks being with a 16-18lb weighted vest. I was fairly consistent in getting all that done and I enjoy it as it makes me feel so much better.

I have a bizarre diet due to food sensitivities and I took calcium supplements to reach 1200-1500 mg of calcium a day. I think the calcium supplement fears are not well proven and are certainly not enough to make me go short on calcium while fighting bone loss. I took other supplements also - vitamin D, K2 MK4, magnesium citrate, and a few others. If I didn't have a bizillion food sensitivities I would eat a more varied diet and experiment with more supplements but I do not have that choice. Also I have for unknown reasons a huge need for protein (just to function and feel ok) hence I eat a really large amount of meat. Side note, I think many people would be healthier overall and bone wise with more protein.
All that said it was obviously Evenity that gave me that big boost. Maybe the other things I did supported and made possible more growth? I don't know but I like to think so.

@awfultruth your workout routine and nutrition details are impressive! Just a thought, very high protein intake seems to have an impact on calcium kinetics. I haven't read much but there are many articles out there. Another thought, other than food sensitivities, did you know the reason for your rapid bone loss? The uptick with ctx prior to your evenity was puzzling. Did you have p1np measured with ctx? If fracture occured, your p1np would most likely have an uptick also. Considering you 'unstable' ctx backgroud, will you and your endo give the reclast dosing a second thought (using a standard dose instead of alternatives)?

I had my 7th shots two weeks ago. I dream of results like yours! What kind of Calcium did you take? My doctor told me to get it from foods but I think it would help to supplement. I do walk and do light weight exercises. I am so thrilled for you!
