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.
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.
