Thank you for your post it’s really appreciated. I’m in the UK but here it’s a new injection so no real information about it here it’s called Abaloparatide injection but same thing. I was stupid and read reviews on an American site and that’s what put me off. I’m disabled can’t walk at all have to be lifted and I was told an hour after injection you desperately need a wee that worried me as I can’t get anywhere fast especially the commode. Plus back pain, palpations, one and joint pain, dizziness etc and as I can’t only just stand for 20 seconds I didn’t want to fall as I broke my neck of femur 5 years ago but it never recovered that’s why I’m disabled. I also have spinal fractures now as cannot hold back up straight anymore. My rheumatologist suggested this injection because of my femur and spine fractures plus my bone scan is not good so high risk of fractures again. I’ve heard lots of people take it at bedtime but once I’m in bed I’m stuck there until I’m lifted out and was worried about getting bad palpitations and nausea plus bladder weakness whilst stuck in bed. I didn’t realise the med only stayed in your system a short time which is good. The nurse is coming next week to discuss and do the injection but I’ve been having panic attacks about it. If I was able bodied I’d be more positive about the injections but as I’m stuck in a chair it concerned me a lot. To be honest I’m pretty useless can’t do anything for myself. I’m glad you got on well with this injection and I know I need to take it but the fear is awful as since breaking my femur I’ve lost all my confidence and scared of everything now as that fracture has destroyed my life.
