Title: Anyone taken Raloxefine (Evista)?
Post by: Echinacea on March 29, 2014, 03:59:46 PM
Hello ladies,
Following my vertebra fracture, I have had the results of the DEXA scan and it has confirmed osteoporosis in the spine and head of femur.  Am quie shocked as I had a normal scan only two years ago - to this has been rather rapid!
Anyway, as I am only 56, doctor has suggested Raloxefine (Evista) to try.
Just wondering if there are any ladies out there that take it, or have taken it?  I would love to hear others experience of it.
I have read the side effects, the worst one being the return of the dreaded hot flushes. Just wondered how bad they are.
Any experiences would be great to hear about.
Thanks
