Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

I’ve 5 more Evenity injections to complete the 12 months. My side effects are joint pain and overall achiness- the last month was rough for a few days. I read that peak blood concentration is day 5 - I really noticed that is the worst time for soreness. Half- life is 12 days- meaning half of the drug has been metabolized . It is essential for me to exercise daily- it helps the soreness a lot.

I've had 6 or 7 injections now and at this point, on injection day and evening, my joints are a little more achy than usual, and I'm physically tired. I make a point to walk the next day and try to stay active, and by day 3 I'm feeling normal.
My blood pressure hasn't changed much and I've dropped a couple of pounds since my diagnosis since I've started walking a mile or two a day.

It's good to know about the peak blood concentration. My reactions have been fatigue, brain fog and elevated blood pressure. I'm getting my 5th injection next week and will monitor my blood pressure closely. I start to feel better about 2 weeks later. I know that you never really get rid of the drug before subsequent injections, so I hope the side effects don't get worse. I think that Evenity is the best choice for me since it build trabecular bone. Good luck during the rest of your treatments.
