Is anyone taking the Evenity injections, and what is your experience?

Thanks so much for your kind feedback?

I just completed 12 months. No side effects. I'm so curious now to learn how my body responded, but insurance will only pay for a density bone scan every two years. So unfortunately have to wait one year for the next bone scan.

12 months. No noticeable side effects and very good results.

I just had my last Evenity shot a week ago. I also had a DEXA the same day. No serious side effects. Rashes at injection sites that lasted one day but were diminished if I took Claritin an hour prior to my shots. My spine, hips and femur improved even though I had Prolia prior to Evenity. Spine improved 8.3% in eleven months. One hip improved 3.6% the other 2.4% Femurs improved 1%.

I am not sure. I meet with my doctor on Tuesday to discuss. I wish I could have another year of Evenity. Forteo would also be a choice but there aren't any studies for Forteo after Evenity. I feel like I need more bone growth before I go on Prolia or Reclast.

I just finished the 12 months with no side effects.

I’ve had 5 treatments of Evenity and have had no side effects. My neurosurgeon order a Lumbar CT scan last month to check my bone density. I went from a Hounsfield score of 45 to a Hounsfield score of 80 in 5 months.

I just did my second dose last week and so far so good. Fingers crossed.

Hello, Alexandra. I just finished a year of Evenity and it definitely helped improve my bones. Unfortunately, my bones were horrible to begin with, so they are still bad, but improved. My spine went from -4.1 to -3.1. My femoral neck went from -3.5 to -3.1. My total hip went from -2.8 to -2.5. I was hoping my numbers would have improved more during the year of Evenity but I’m happy they improved at all. I don’t know what medication to take next. I meet with my rheumatologist in a couple of weeks to discuss it. I’m only 54 so I’m worried about long term meds. Other than the first shot, which made me feel a little out of it for a while, I didn’t have any side effects. I felt fine after the next 11 shots. Good luck and I hope things work out well for you.

Thanks so much for the helpful information!

I am getting ready to start my first Evenity shot tomorrow. I am 67 and Diabetic. I am terrified of the side effects - heart attack, stroke. (my husband just died from a heart attack) Not sure how to do what deal with it, tried to do as much research as I can. Have to weigh the risks with the benefits I guess. I just had my first density and I am -3.3 and - 2.9 in my hips and -3.1 in my spine. How did you ladies get past this fear? Glad to hear about your successes.
