@carolyn22 hi so sorry u having this with Evenity. its been my experience with osteopenia and now my l4l5 fusion in low bones: its terrifying because 40 percent of normal bone fusions fail hardware breaks or nonfusion. been year and half since the surgeru. on evenity one year before my surgery now stuck with only fosamax pill weekly etc or IV drug i wasnt about to do that. No one would put me on Teripartide or Abalopartide one of these two of the hormonal shots: dont like the monthly shots side effects to any of these either. my side effects Evenity was some 15 to 20 lb weight gain sickening was already fat at 170. drugs made to let u gain and or not lose because they think everyone with low bone is skinny in first place: buried deep in the info. ive researched these drugs in excess my husband says i say NO SUCH THING; THE DRUG CO DONT CARE IF SIDE EFFECTS ARE JUST AS BAD AS DISEASE AND THIS IS A 40 YEAR SENTENCE OF LOW BONES. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MAKING MILLIONS. I DONT HAVE ANY GOOD OPTIONS TO GIVE U. ALL DRUGS ARE HORRIBLE. PICK THE LEAST POISON PROBLEM THERE ISNT ANY. I WISH IT WERE BETTER BUT THAT HAS TO CONE FROM DRUG MAKERS THEMSELVES. TRY ASKING YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR A PRESCRIPTION FOR AN EXTERNAL SPINE STIMULATOR TO GET BONE GROWING. ITS FROM ORTHOFIX GOOGLE IT. VELCRO STRAPPED IN FRONT AND BACK LIGHT WEIGHT WEARABLE 2 TO 4 HOURS DAY. OVER LIGHT CLOTHES ELETROSTATIC STIMULATES SPINE BONES TO GROW, TAKE CALCIUM 1200 MG DAY, VIT K, MAGNESIUM, WALK OR LIGHT AEROBIC TO STIMULATE BONE. YOU CAN SELF PAY ACCORDING TO INCOME WITH ORTHOFIX COMPANY DIRECTLY WITH A SCRIPT FOR A YEAR. ITS BATTERY CHARGEABLE. PRETTY GOOD FOR ME. PHYSICIAN MUST SAY U NEED IT TO BUILD BONE THAT OTHER METHODS HAVENT WORKED. HOPE THIS HELPS.
