← Return to My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I did have Reclast following Evenity, a full dose. I was quite stressed about getting Reclast because of all the bad reactions that people reported on this site. I have an autoimmune disease that reacts very badly to stress and had terrible stomach trouble for almost 4 weeks after the infusion. Don't know if it was the infusion itself or the stress that caused the problem. I have no intention of getting another Reclast infusion. The endocrinologist told me that osteoporosis is very much a genetic issue. Also, my autoimmune disease is a contributor. Despite these facts, the risk of more bad side effects are now outweighing the rewards in my mind. I will step up my exercise routine to include free weights and hope that will be enough to maintain the good bone growth that Evenity produced.

I hope that weights work for you. I am still trying to avoid Evenity altogether ( much to my doctor’s dismay) because I can’t see a future free of various dental procedures & the jaw necrosis risk plus the black box about the heart attacks just freaked me out. So I most of the time do some weights, maybe not enough but I am good about wearing a weighted vest while walking or other exercises. I think mine is the NYK one. It at least gives hope. I hate that they want us to take all these drugs.
