@vrgarden Have you had any other adverse reactions? I'm nervous about starting Evenity. (Doc prescribed and insurance approved.) I'm reading such awful stories about side effects.

Do you mind sharing your age? I am 75 and wondering (to all participants) if age plays a part in weighting possible side effects against possible positive outcomes. I definitely does for me.

I haven't had any adverse effects--just sore arms the 1st time. The 2nd time in the abdomen, very minimal discomfort--only to touch. So I'm ready to continue with my 3rd next Tuesday, hopefully in my abdomen.

I posted earlier but be aware the most bone building effects are in the first 6 months of Evenity. Other than sore arms for a few days I was fine the first 6-7 months but then had to quit at 11 months as I couldn't move easily due to muscle/bone pain especially in my hips where I experienced almost no gain. It almost completely resolved after being off Evenity for about 6 months but a few months on Fosomax and the muscle/joint pain is back in my hips. Am switching to Actonel this month. I wouldn't hesitate to stop after 6 months and switch to something else if I did it again. Just listen to your body! Hope it goes well!

I have been taking Evenity for seven months now and have had no side effects other than twice, mild discomfort for a few hours at injection site. I get injections in belly recommended by the nurse who shared most of her patients do better with belly vs arm.
