Any success stories about Evenity to share with fearful me?

Posted by callmekate @callmekate, Aug 23 8:57pm

After acquiring 2 compression fractures, I am biting the bullet and going for my first Evenity shot in 2 days. I am afraid of everything from heart palpitations (I have AFIB) to muscle spasms and joint pain and everything else . Has anyone been ok on the shots? Or only had minor issues? I would love to read encouraging words. My REMS scores were ok: hip -1.0, spine -1.2, but my DEXA scores were much worse: hip -2.8, spine-4.8, so I feel I have little choice now. Many thanks.

Before you reached -4 in your tscore and started on meds, did you do any of the recommended strategies, like the LiftMoor/Onero which have been shown to increase BMD? Or do Dr Loren Fishman’s 12 yoga poses, also shown to increase BMD? I have started the yoga poses, and will start weight training next week.
Yes, the CTX score is concerning. I will do some research and see if there are ways to bring those down other than meds.
Addendum; after I posted the above, i went on YouTube and found this podcast from Dr Doug Lucas on how to reduce CTX level. I am incorporating some of them already (higher animal proteins, 5-6 prunes a day and working out). I guess I will find out in a year if any of these help OP.

@janeth73 Yes! I love listening to his podcasts. I know he is trying to get people to join his Osteo Collective Program which can cost about $15,000 a year, but at least his podcasts are FREE and he does look into the studies behind the trials!!

3 Evenity infusions so far and no side effects at all. Just to add to the anecdotal data!
