Weight Gain with Evenity

I've gained 10 lbs in 8 months, the first 7 lbs on the first 3 months. My doctors give me the "blank i don't feel-its-connected". The treatment is too critical to stop, but it doesn't help with my self esteem! After losing over 3 inches from the osteoporosis, adding extra weight makes me feel like a Buddha doll, short and pudgy! But, we just have to keep our sense of humor! Best of luck and health to all.

I have gained 10 lbs in the 8 months that I have been on Evenity. I have lost over two inches in height from the osteoporosis. I am trying to take the weight off or at least down. I am less active than I was. My thyroid numbers (TSH) are at the top of the scale and have gone to HIGH at times. I am having that checked also. I am 78 but I still don't want to resign myself to being "out-of-shape. I do have fatigue and osteoarthritis.

As hard as it is for you to I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows in their gut that envenity certainly has rapid weight gain. I agree with the loss of height and my extra weight I also look like a Buddha. With more and more on this drug I believe the doctors are getting feedback on what the side effects truly are. And a kicker it made my life miserable the year I was on it and my density decreased. I’m now trying tylmos and hoping I’ll have some success. I’ll be 76 and it’s just frustrating.
