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.

I just finished my last injection. People have had great results. I had no side effects to speak of. I took my injections in my stomach either above my pant line, or below. I found it was less sore that way. Also, she gave me injections very, very slowly. She let the injections warm up to room temperature. I am usually a canary in the mine, but I was perfectly fine!

I was afraid of fractures if I did not take medication. I have taken fosomax, forteo, Evenity and now Prolia. I never had any noticable side effects with any. I've made gains. You won't know if you don't try. I am so sorry about your husband and that loss must compound your fear. Good luck with your first injections and keep us posted.
