AVIS I ALSO AM TAKING EVISTA, BUT MY DOCTOR WANTS ME TO TAKE THE FORTEO DRUG. I REFUSE TO TAKE THAT, BECAUSE 1. I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF TAKING A SHOT EVERYDAY, FOR 2 YRS, 2. I'VE READ SO MUCH BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS DRUG, THAT I DARE NOT TAKE IT. I'VE TAKEN FOSSAMAX, AND ANTONEL, AND BOTH GAVE ME EXCRUCIATING MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH EMERGENCY TO GET HELP. THE EVISTA HAS DONE OK FOR ME. THERE ARE NO BLOOD CLOT DISORDERS IN MY FAMILY, BUT I DID GET A FEW LIKE CHARLIE HORSES IN THE BACK OF MY LEGS. IT ALSO GIVES ME HOT FLASHES EVERY NOW AND THEN. SO FOR ME EVISTA IS OK. I GUESS IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH WOMAN. I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME.
