Welcome Nancy! I was on Evista to protect my bones when I was on steroids for Polymyalgia Rheumatica some years ago. The only side effect I had were some ‘hot flushes’.

Just about to start Evista having taken Alendronic acid for 5 yrs.
They seem disinclined to prescribe anything other than calcium tablets and it is only through reading the posts on here that I was able to push for some medication.
Seems like most people don't have any bad side effects.

Hi everyone I have been on the Evista since the summer. No side effects. Results well who knows? Working out and maintaining diet too. Bone scan in March.

Hi NancyMarie I just got a suggestion to go on it. Have short term side effects bothered you?
