I am scheduled for my first set of injections in 2 days. I also am concerned about the side effects but at this point I have no other options available to me. There is a co-payment program that should only cost you $25.00 a month. Your MD should set you up for that, mine did. I also have to pay $85.00 each month for the office to actual give me the medicine. If you have any questions regarding the co-payment program I can provide you with the information. Good luck to you with your Evenity journey, please keep all of us updated.
