@dooshie I guess this comment is too late to help with your first injection but I'll post it anyway.
I think reactions to Evenity are getting over expressed somehow in this group or elsewhere. The immediate reactions are often mild to non-existent. I'm not discounting anyone who has some serious reactions but in general it's pretty mild. My 12 months of injections were without any side effects worth mentioning. I say it that way because I see some listing all their side effects and it may make it seem more serious than it was. Yes, I had a stinging sensation (for 2-5 seconds) once or twice out of 24 injections. Two or three times there was a bit of puffiness at the injection site for two or three hours. Once there was a bruise. Sometimes I got stimulated for a few hours. I say good grief that is all nothing. That's pretty normal for sticking a needle in your skin and injecting something into it. I could have as much reaction to injections of water I suspect.
Again to anyone who has a serious reaction I'm not denying your experience.

BTW, I see people saying they always do all these different meds and techniques to prevent reactions and that because of that they never have reactions. My response is that with Evenity you likely would have had no reactions without those tricks.
So to my mind there is no reason to be taking Tylenol or Claritin or antihistamines or any of the things folks do for Reclast.
@pami I do see in your comment that you figured out ways to stop the reactions you were having and that's great.
In my case I would be just as likely if not more likely to have an unpleasant reaction to Tylenol or Claritin etc as I am to Evenity. Seriously!

@awfultruth…you’re so sweet to message me. I appreciate it so much. I actually had to cancel my appt for my first injection as my father in law is in the final stages of life and we have been with him and the family pretty much 24/7. I’ll reschedule my appt after he passes.
I was pretty skeptical with Tymlos and fearful as well and the side affects I had were pretty minimal so I really should just push ahead and pray my experience with Evenity will be the same.
I did have some injection site bruising with Tymlos, some fatigue, weight gain and about the 18th month, ankle and foot pain, but I also had good gains so it was worth the discomfort, that completely remedied itself once I completed my 2-year protocol. This journey is not the easiest but I’m thankful we have options to strengthen our weak bones and to continue to enjoy our lives. Rose 🌹
