I am on Evenity right now after doing 6 months of Tymlos and generic Forteo (teraparatide). In my case, my insurance company revoked my approval for Tymlos because I hadn’t tried generic Forteo first. I had side effects from the teraparatide so I found an endocrinologist who would prescribe Evenity. I am the end of my Evenity treatment and will have a DEXA scan at the end of March.

Evenity has been fine for me. I do have some joint pain from it and have gained 8 lbs but all of this has been tolerable as my goal is to avoid another vertebral fracture. Most people have no side effects.

Only you can decide how to proceed. All I can say is that for me, Evenity has had fewer side effects than Tymlos or teraparatide.
