Evenity

I began my Evenity treatment yesterday following a painful fracture earlier in the year and must admit I did it with trepidation after so many reviews that mentioned days of unpleasant side effects after each treatment. I have been on other drugs previously, going back 10 years (Actonel, Prolia, Reclast) and had only had a tough few days of side effects after Reclast, then was fine.

In case others are needing some encouraging news, I wanted to post that I was pleasantly surprised that I would never have known on day 2 that I had the shots. Both were in my right arm. They were less painful than Prolia (which was only a little stinging), my arm never turned red and only if I press on it can I locate the injection sites. Since it is a monoclonal antibody I took my antihistamine and 1000 mgs of Tylenol one hour before. I took Advil 5 hours later in anticipation of the joint aches that were highlighted in side effects, which never occurred. Whether those drugs took care of the side effects I may never know, but I am so relieved that the process was without issues for me. I guess the only was to know is to try it. Best to everyone else out there fighting this same battle!
