Hello everyone, I am updating my post from October 2023. Today I was due to get my 8th shot. My rash/acne started after my 4th shot and steadily got worse each month.

The rash/acne on my face has spread on my face and is tender to the touch. I saw my primary doctor today who a year ago strongly encouraged me to start my Evenity treatments. After seeing my rash/acne on my face today, he said I need to stop because he is concerned about inflammation. He recommended I see my dermatologist, which I am doing on Monday. He said if the dermatologist believes my rash/acne is drug related then he wants me to stop the medication. I explained that I am willing to deal with the rash/acne if it means better bones but again, he was concerned about the inflammation. Also, I am experiencing shaky hands, increased back/neck pain and headaches. And I rarely get headaches. I have a history of being sensitive to medications, so I am grateful I made it this far (I have seen my primary doctor for over 30 years and when he saw my face, he instantly said to stop the medication). If the dermatologist agrees with my primary doctor, then I will follow up with my osteoporosis doctor to determine what other options I have for treating my osteoporosis. I am 58 years old with severe osteoporosis, so I really need another option. I do eat fairly well, and I work out regularly. I even worked with a personal trainer for several months.

I am wondering since the original question was presented to our group if anyone else has any updates?

I got a bad rash on my cheek after my second Proia shot I’m due to get another shot in March and if I get the rash again, I will talk to the bone doctor. The rash went away after a couple months.
