I just started Fosamax for osteoporosis. I can't afford evenity so trying Fosamax which Medicare advantage covers. I am worried about the side effects of Fosamax, esp jaw decay. I'm on my 4 th dose and do have muscle and bone pain and headaches. I researched Evista and it seemed to have less side effects, but has possible blood clots and hot flashes. Glad to hear you're doing good on Evista with little side effects. I am going to ask my pcp about Evista. Best to you.

Yes, the flashes are very mild tho! I’m super active, and had a clear cardiac calcium scan before starting it, so the risk of clot is very low for me. It also protects against breast cancer, so that was a plus for me (mother succumbed to it).
