My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

Follow up I posted this in the other forum but decided to include it here. I took 8 shots but was having increased stiffness/pain in my hands and wrist over about 3 months (shots 5-8) but I decided on the 9th. Mainly because of the advantages of Evenity to strengthen my bones I really wanted to complete the 12 months. Well, 3 days after the injection #9 the stiffness started up again and the pain in my hands/wrists has increased so I will be discontinuing it. Though I won't have the 12 months I'll have 9 months of gains which is good and will follow up, probably, with Reclast.

Well coming up on 4 weeks after my 9th injection. Still some stiffness and pain in my joints mainly in my hands but I think it is getting better. Anyway, after a lot of back and forth my endocrinologist suggests stopping now and taking Reclast. He wants to be sure any gains I have made will not be lost. I've taken Reclast before and the worse side effect was some flu like symptoms but tylenol took care of that.
I wished I could have completed the full year but it is what it is.

I also have commented here I only tolerated 8/12 months. Fatigue, brain fog and feeling “down” went away after a month off. Then I relayed w a Reclast infusion.
Feel better on Reclast- no brain fog but still some fatigue.
I had a month between where I felt great so believe it’s medication related.
