Lash,
It is a hard decision! To me it all depended upon my T score of my spine which was -4.6 and I need to get out of that hole. I needed to take a anabolic bone med to help rebuild my bones along with stopping the breakdown. I am 1 month in with starting Evenity which to me in a 1 year time had the best turn around and the others are for 2 years with a daily injection. I know I will then have to take an oral med afterwards. That is the case with this whole journey. From reading all these comments most of us feel the same way and the process is scary. I still worry about side effects.

Hi @kristie2,
Thank you for sharing your experience. How did the first Evenity injection work for you? There are a number of side effects I worry about that have received little attention. The neuropathy in my feet is a persistent (at least four decades old now, I am 82) problem that may be aggravated. My cardio state seems healthy enough for this regimen. My T score was negative three point eight but my endocrinologist urges me to Evenity. I guess I'll go through with the first shot on
Wednesday this coming week unless some other information emerges to block it.
