I just wanted to share with you I tried to have an appointment with the Mayo clinic in Jacksonville ( which is 6 hours away) and since they are not on my Insurance I would have to pay $5000 for the first visit. I was in shock really. In my area the soonest I can get an appointment with a decent specialist is 6 months from now. I am having some side effects from the Evenity I am taking and my Rheumatologist doesn't seem to care. I have only been going to him for 6 months and I need to get a second opinion on taking this medication.

Im sorry to hear that. I was on Evenity for 6 months and decided to stop because of side effects. I posted the side effects in earlier emails. I eventually conted Amgen to report the side effects to a nurse who handles such calls. Perhaps someone reading these posts have other recommendations. Best wishes.
