← Return to My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

Hi
I'm 72, started Evenity 8 months ago at a steady 110 lb. and take no other medications and with spine dexa -5. One thing I've learned from following this group, and one on Facebook, is that side effects are unpredictable. I've tried every other generation of osteoporosis meds starting at age 40 and this is the first one I've tolerated. I've gained a solid 7 lb, mostly in my abdomen, where I get the shots. I have fatigue and random body aches and headaches, but I'm retired, so I can work around those and prioritize my exercise and walking routines. We've all got fingers crossed that this treatment will be effective. You won't know if you don't try and you can stop if you find it unbearable. Good luck with your decision and your journey. I've found these support groups to be helpful.

Christina, you are wonderful. Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I too have been through the whole range of osteo drugs with little if any success. Having already suffered three compression fractures, I am concerned about not trying anything. Thank you so much.
