My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I hope you don't have any other symptoms. After my first dose I also had cold symptoms, headache, fatigue, and some eyelid swelling. My MD told me to take a Benadryl. My side effects were manageable until after my 4th injections when I started having Palpitations. I truly was going to stick with this medication but after the 5th dose they got worse. I am going to be seeing a Cardiologist if they don't resolve, I am worried, I have never had any heart issues, I am a healthy 62 year old, very active. Yes, try and think positive thoughts, if you can meditate, keep active and read " Great Bones" the book by R Keith McCormick. It has so much information about OP and he explains things in terms you can understand. This site is so helpful with all the support we receive from each other.

Sorry to hear this. I haven't started yet, however both my docs said none of their Evenity patients had adverse reactions. I am starting to doubt how valid this is after reading about all the symptoms reported. Makes me think I should hold off until after my summer travels. I would hate to be out of the country and experiencing bad side effects.
On another note, have your t scores improved?

My endocrinologist said the symptoms I experienced were not experienced by anyone in the clinical trials. That was not true. Heart palpitations, which got worse after the second shot and really scary bad after the third. I also had insomnia and mild swelling of the face. My fourth shot was scheduled for the 12th of July. I didn't have it and am gradually , very gradually, getting back to normal. I will read the book you recommended by R. Keith McCormick and find another endocrinologist.
