Just read this. I had some tachycardia and possibly very brief afib last night so was nervous. But I went to the hospital endo office for the two Evenity injections because I really have no choice. I am thinking I might do just 4 months' worth anyway because those are the main bone-growing months and I have already had good gains on Tymlos.

After the injections I had heavy chest pressure, like an elephant on my chest! And felt very woozy. This has happened to me before with other injections and I suspect it is the polysorbate 20. Not a side effect, more of a "reaction" and not totally unexpected. It eased over 90 minutes, gradually lessening.

I am happy I did it. I want to do Evenity then my doc will do 20% dose Reclast and then I hope to do 2.5mg Reclast and be done with meds for awhile (I have read that 2.5mg is as effective as the full dose of 5mg and I am small). My doc is nervous about Reclast with my heart and kidney issues, but, again, there is no good choice.

I have several spinal compression fractures, half from a traumatic fall and half from osteoporosis- so I am motivated!
