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.

And I'm small boned and petite too. I'm going to push through as long as I can too . I want to get better. And pray no jaw decay or strokes. It states small percent, less than 1 , will experience these . God Bless.

I have never heard of the med you're on. Is this an injection every other day? I get my second set of eventity next Wednesday and I'm petrified. My mindset is a wreck and alot of anxiety. The body and joint pain, headaches, dizziness are bad. I have to build bone & all of these meds are risky. I read so much of these posts are many are negative which scares me. Like you said, the fatigue is hard and the pains. I so exercise the best I can, walk, take calcium , d3, k2 and proteins. So glad your bone density increased, that's wonderful, the med is working. I will ask my Dr about your medicine. I wish you the best.
