Thank you for your reply. Your message gives me hope that I'll do ok with evenity. I have to build bone. I've had bad effects with the first set of shots, but praying I'll do ok with second. I fear jaw decay , stroke, joint pain and fractures. I have a bad headache, soreness, pain in hips, back and thighs and my neuropathy is worse after first set. You have been on all these osteoporosis meds and did well. That is encouraging. I wish you well.

I fear all the same things. I started Teriparatide in Sept, 2024.
I have some of the same symptoms, a little milder . It is the generic for Forteo, which has been around for 20 years, Evenity is new. Can you try Tymlos, Forteo, or what I take?
I take every other day. I have fatigue and body and joint pain, constipation. Trying to swim, walk and workout to alleviate the fatigue.
I'm trying to stay on it for at least a year, hopefully longer. My bone density increased about 18% in 8 months. I paid for a bone density test OOP because I didn't want to go thru the pain for nothing. Since it's working, I going to push thru as long as I can. I hate having to do any of this. It's like we are punished for being women or small boned and petite in my case.
