I am so sorry to hear about all your side effects from taking Evenity. I have only had one injection and so far had minimal side effects ( headache, fatigue and soreness where the injections were given). I can live with these but if I experience any additional side effects I will need to rethink whether I will continue. My mom also had Osteoporosis and had 2 hip fractures, the last one ending her life at age 90. Since I was diagnosed my MD's have limited the sporting activities I used to do, so at the moment the only exercise I do is weight training and walking everyday. I am scared to do any other sporting activity and I am 61 being diagnosed at age 50. Please keep us posted on your DEXA results and I hope you feel better soon. My concern for you is I was told that I would have to take something after Evenity( my MD wants me to take Prolia) to maintain any gains(hopefully) from Evenity. Good luck with your decision. I am so grateful that I found this site, so much support and knowledge I am getting.

Consider yourself lucky to have had those minimal side effects. I only had one set of Evenity injections with severe side effects that I listed in a previous post. Always listen to your body. It knows best! Based on all posts I have read coupled with additional research, the improvements in scans after the full treatment were minimal…perhaps a 3-4% improvement in scans. That is not worth the side effects in my humble opinion. Again, listen to your body. You will make the best decision for yourself!
