Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Hi Lynester:
I started taking Evinity 9 months ago so have had 18 shots (2 each month). I have had NO SIDE EFFECTS at all. I fortunately had some fillings filled BEFORE I started the treatment. I also made sure I had no heart problems and took several tests just to make sure. The only thing I have once in a while is a black and blue mark on my arm but I now have the nurse tape ice on my arm and no black and blue mark! I think I have a similar score for my neck as you. I have osteoporosis and scoliosis. I hope after I have my new bone scan it will show huge improvement. I will display my old amd new scores for this site after the bone scan. Once again, thankfully no side effects. Also I took Beniva for 4 years and it did NOTHING to improve my bone density. The best of luck let me know if you would like to talk. We have to help each other!

Just wondering what your results were after a year of being on EVENITY and have you continued with anything else? I’m considering EVENITY as my spine is -4.4 but very nervous about possible side effects Thank you

Hi, Jasnat, Thanks so much for this response. It's really helpful! I'm a bit scared of Evenity because of the stated possible side effects. I have just had one shot--I am getting them on the sides of my thighs and had huge swellings like bee stings that last several days and were painful but then went away.
I may need to have a root canal. My dentist says that the risk of a negative outcome from it is very, very low but that's scary too as I have already started the EVENITY.
It is so helpful to have this response from you. None of my friends has osteoporosis that's as serious as mine so, besides my doctor and my husband, I don't have anybody around who is going through the same thing. Thank you so much for your response. I agree that we have to help each other!
