@aspirecreative & @kedi25: I am scared & anxious of Evenity Osteoporosis shot. I just hate to start a procedure that will be a lifetime treatment from one to the next. There are NO guarantees in this life! I just finished 6mo cancer treatment though - so I guess I can do this!
This is my plan of action on 6/1/25! First read every word on Evenity Instructions in box. Lay out the 2 vials 30 min prior to get to room temp. Also, In my research peers have recommended:
(1) drinking lots of water for 2 days prior as well as day of shot.
(2) An Hour before shot take one 500 Tylenol PLUS either caffeine drink (coffee, etc.) or eat a few green olives & plan to drink water all day. This is supposed to dialate blood vessels & prevent bad headache side-effect!
(3) shot: stomach insertion in soft tissue about 2 inches from belly button. Pinch up some skin and insert needle 45 or 90 degree angle. Insert slowly.
(4) shot only in soft tissue- not muscle.
(5) Take another 500 Tylenol 4 hrs after shot.
(6) Some said to take shot near bedtime to avoid side effects while sleeping.
I think this covers it. If you have more info expedite it to me please! Wish me good luck & I will do the same! :-).
