For Osteoporosis "Had 11 months of injections. Injections aren't comfortable but tolerable. Sometimes I would get a headache, but by months 8 or 9, I was noticing aching in my hands, wrists, elbows, hips, etc. As I was so close to the 12 months, I continued through the 11 months. Didn't have the last injections and haven't had an injection since the beginning of February. I have always been active by walking, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, etc., and watching my diet, supplements, etc. I now feel like I have arthritis. All blood work is perfect, DEXA improved in the spine by 49%, pretty impressive. Where I had osteoporosis in three sites, I only have osteoporosis in my hip. But I am so stiff early in the morning, and dull aching wakes me up at night sometimes. I am hopeful and prayerful that these side effects will go away. Am switching now to Fosamax or Reclast, but the Evenity journey is one to keep an eye on. I kind of wish I had stopped sooner as I believe, not 100% certain, that the most benefit is in the first 6 months. I'm 67."

For Osteoporosis "I have been on Evenity for 7 months, and thankfully, I have had minimal reactions. The only side effect I have noticed is some soreness in my arms after the injections. Additionally, I have experienced hair loss, which I believe is linked to this medication. Considering my conditions of RA and osteoporosis, I am overall satisfied with the treatment. I will have to wait until October 2023 for the results of my Dexa scan."

For Osteoporosis "Last August, I completed 12 months of Evenity treatment. I had very mild side effects only on the day after each series of shots, a mild headache and a little tired, injection sites (each arm) sore and tender for a week. But completely tolerable. After 2 spinal compression fractures and 3 years of Reclast, I welcomed each Evenity shot! No new fractures, so that’s worth celebrating! My endo also got me into a program that paid for the drug copays."
