@lairsho

I just finished the 12th Evenity and did not have hot flashes. I did have bad fatigue for several months but it did get better. Didn’t go away completely yet. I also had a constant headache for several months that the only thing that would help is ibuprofen which I’m not supposed to take. Tylenol does nothing for me. Last but not least is the joint and bone pain I’ve had. It’s all getting better just in time for the next round of medication.

Thanks for responding. I was told Evenity should only be taken for one year, but my PCP isn't that versed on treatment. How long will you be taking it? I researched endocrinologists with osteoporosis expertise in our area, and found a practice a 40 mile drive away, but can't get in to see one until Feb. I've had some joint pain, but it's hard to tease it out from arthritis pain. First total knee replacement in 3 weeks and I have to get my 5th Evenity injections the day after I get out of the hospital, sigh...I've also had minor headaches off and on

All in all my experience with Evenity was minor.

I wish you the best!!

I haven’t had hot flashes after two injections, but I did have a site reaction after the second infusion. I lad very large red, raised welts that were hot on both arms. They told me to take Benadryl or Zyrtec next time prior to the infusion.

@ou14mejc I experienced redness, itching and welts for my first 3 shots and now just some heat on subsequent shots.

@mapitts I'm hoping Benadryl will calm down the reaction next time. Thanks for the reply.

I have only had my first injection 4 weeks ago and I’ve experienced “ hot flashes “ and night sweats. Im 67, so past this being normal. I’m due for my second dose, but rescheduled because of extreme fatigue and feeling unwell the days before my appointment. I’m really hesitant to continue with treatment. Doc ordered bloodwork and everything came back normal range. Has anyone decided to discontinue treatment after just one dose ?
I am so torn between just continuing over the counter supplements and hoping it will help to continuing the shots for 11 more months.
