I did 9 months of Evenity then stopped for increasing joint pain with each dose from #5 onward. I followed up with Reclast which had never bothered me before but unfortunately was not the case now. The joint pain/stiffness has been doing a slow walk through my hands, both now. Maybe my toes. It's not debilitating but definitely annoying. It's better as the day goes on. But I figure I've got a year maybe more of this according to what I have read.
I won't get a dexa until January.
I took Forteo about 14 years ago and went from a -4.8 to 4 in my spine. I have been seeing a different doc and their machine has me at a -3.6. So different machine can give different results. Regardless, I did have a density increase and no adverse reactions.
