Good morning......Yea...you got it. Except for the spelling which you might need for researching. Evenity. Regarding the research.....there are results mentioned on the website. The other person who should know about the details is your endocrinologist or another clinician. And finally......I have found the company, Amgen, to be helpful. They have medically trained folks who respond to your type of questions. If they don't have the answers at their fingertips they will go to the research department and get what is available and call you back. Here is the phone # for support at Amgen: 800 772-6436.

I talked to them a few times. Unfortunately, I don't recall the details well enough to pass them on to you. I do know that my endocrinologist told me that none of the side effects affected greater than 10% of the patients. I don't think she would speak untruthfully. I am always afraid I will be in the bottom 10%.

Let me know what you find out. Together we can figure this out. Don't forget you want double-blind tests with placebos.

May you have joy today.......you may have to jump for it.

Hello Chris and thank you for the info/phone number. I spoke with a very helpful nurse who provided me with stats and a recommendation. She suggested I look at each drug's prescribing information on their websites, which allows anyone to see what pre-existing conditions would preclude using them. I think that will be very helpful (although I too fear being in the bottom 10%!) Thanks again for the lead.
