Good morning, ann707,
I started taking Evenity in May 2002 for osteoporosis (Lumbar-2.8, Hip -2.0). I discontinued treatment after injection #6 because of side effects. Mostly, I had fatigue and brain for 2 weeks. I also had itching in arms, legs and scalp. It felt more like tiny pinches. The palms of my hands would also itch and I had pain/numbness in my fingertips. The same day I had injection 6, I had severe pain along the right side of my jaw near the ear , pressure along the left side of jaw as well as pain in the center of my chest and back. These were spasms that lasted a few seconds, but they were atypical for me and occurred a few hours after the last injection. I am happy for those who can take this drug without having serious side effects, but for me, I have to listen to my body. I was switched to Fosamx with the hope to stabilize any bone growth from the Evenity. Good luck to everyone on this journey.
