Evenity after bad side effects from both Tymlos and Prolia
I’ve had bad side effects from every osteo medication I’ve tried. The last was Tymlos and I had terrible back pain and spasms minutes after taking my first injection. Now they want me to try Evenity! Anyone had a similar experience?

I was on Tymlos and had difficulty with it as well. It gave me severe nausea and vomiting after several days of the 1st injection. I am now on Evenity infusions. I experience exhaustion with each infusion, and sleep for 18 hours afterwards. I just plan for it now and am able to deal with it.

I began my journey with Reclast infusions c. 2011 and, including the last one in June, have had no adverse reactions.
I started Tymlos in late 2022; it had pretty debilitating side effects. I refused to take it after 9-1/2 months of PT, pain management, Zofran, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, more ibuprofen, more acetaminophen . . . trying to convince my doc that the med was the culprit in my agony - he said my reactions weren't listed on the Tymlos website. I felt, at different times, he thought my various maladies were mental, not physical. Anyway . . .
In July, 2023, I took my first Evenity shots and never looked back. No issues except for that pesky "shot arm" pain for a couple of days. My DEXA in 2025 showed great gains. As a note: I used Tymlos for 9-1/2 months and Evenity for a full twelve months, so I can't be 100% sure which of these meds worked better for me.
Sorry to hear of your issues. All the best to you! Cheers!

2 ReactionsYo estoy en la mitad de tratamiento con Evenity, últimamente gastritis, reflujo inflamación intestinal que dura varios días. En gral, también he tenido dolor de espalda. Pero por ahora nada compleja salvó esa reacción gástrica importante

I am so sorry for your discomfort. We do have to persevere, so we don't grow old and roll over and break. I'm trying Evenity but it is NOT easy! Still, if I can drink lots and lots and lots of water, I do better. Are you drinking enough?
I've found a nice senior site for shape with Lauren and feel better after I stretch and lift a little weight. Keep working. Eight months to go!
