Evenity Shots
I have been getting evenity shots for 10 months. Just had a bone scan and there was NO change. The Dr. Wants me to finish these shots and then choose another form of shots.
Has anyone else experienced these same results? What did you then do? And did it actually help build bone mass?
I also am concerned why my Dr. Would not recommend I take calcium, vitamin D and vitamin k after reading others comments.
Any suggestions experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone.

Have you had a chance to ask the prescribing doctor? If yes, what did they say? Otherwise I assume there is a phone number to call Evenity and report side effects. It might be interesting to know why they say.
I had some similar issues with Evenity. yes, to some dizziness and yes to a Sjogren's flare after each injection thus far. 3 injections so far and I am asking my doc to put me on something else for bone health. being in flare so much takes all the quality out of life. the flare itself creates increased fatigue.
Hi, I'm on Evenity too but am a few months away from my follow up Dexa.
Were you on an antiresorptive medication prior to Evenity? I'm interested in learning whether the fact that I was on Boniva (and couldn't tolerate it due to GI issues) before the Evenity will affect bone formation. I read that the order of these drugs can affect bone formation. I'm not knowledgeable enough to explain it here but you could ask your doctor.

After my 2nd injection I had severe joint, bone pain all over, head to toes! It improved after 5 days then would reoccur suddenly. I take ibuprofen and Tylenol around the clock and use heating pad, also some stretching.
Still having pain episodes.. I hope yours improves soon !
