@beachesanddreams I chose to get the shots in my stomach. The two shots were administered simultaneously by two nurses. After my first round of injections I did have an allergic reaction around my stomach and down onto my thighs - red and puffy almost like a super bad sunburn plus itchy. Initially my doctor said that we would stop - but knowing this was the best option for me, I wanted to give it another try. Ever since my first round, I've been taking a Benadryl before and a Benadryl after and haven't had any more allergic reactions. The injections themselves aren't fun and the area is typically sensitive for a day or two after (sometimes a bit longer depending on the skill of the injector) but in the big scheme of things, at least in my case, it was a small price to pay. Good luck with your appt, keep us posted on your journey. 🙏

@phxmom How SMART to take the Benadryl before and after. I’m so glad it helped you.

Saw my new doc this morning. She is actually recommending Prolia with a calcium-rich diet and a supplement, plus bone-building exercise. My lumbar score was 3.0 and I’m osteopenic everywhere else, and because I tolerated one Prolia injection well already, she said that’s what she would do for her own mom, which was reassuring.

Still, I hear stories like yours, and wonder if I should do the Evenity for a year (Prolia would take a little longer to build back bone), and see what’s what. She did indicate I could do Evenity if the Prolia doesn’t yield the result she wants to see, so there’s that.

I’m so happy for you and your amazing progress. Definitely something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
