Hi @missey
One of the reasons my rheumatologist didn't wish to prescribe Evenity to me was because of those very warnings. Once I had checked "Dr. Google" to get a bit more information, I had a chat with my cardiologist, asking him to give me his opinion on the matter; he had no issue with me going the Evenity route.
I have history of heart attacks and strokes in my family and a minor heart issue myself, but based on what the cardiologist said, was not worried about taking Evenity in my particular situation.
There is so much conflicting, old, and just plain incorrect information swirling around us, especially on the internet. Always question and always seek a professional opinion to discuss all of your fears and anxieties. Advocate for yourself!!
Cheers!
