kristie2,
I am nervous about Reclast, but I was about Evenity, too. And, that has gone well.
I am trying to figure out how much time should pass between Evenity and starting Reclast. I have lost some faith in my endocrinologist. At last appointment, he was just not engaged. Typing on tablet, no eye contact, didn’t know who Keith McCormick was, etc.
when I said that I didn’t want to take Fosamax after Evenity, that I would take Reclast, he just said “Okay.”
No discussion.
At this point, I will take medical advice from this site before trusting my endocrinologist.
A few years ago, I had a doctor who had made osteoporosis her specialty. She was incredibly well informed and had a great relationship with her patients. Tragically, and ironically, she fell at home and died. Everyone knew her. At my last endocrinology appointment, I brought her up. My current lackadaisical doctor said,” I miss her.”
I thought, “Wow. You and me both, Buddy.”

I do not have experience with Envity but I did the Reclast infusion because my stomach couldn’t tolerate the Fosamax. Reclast was in September’23 and I’m still having side effects. I had multiple symptoms for 3 months. At 4 months most have improved but I still have severe bone pain in my legs every day. This prevents me from doing normal activities. I started this journey as an active healthy 65 year old and now struggle to get through my days.
I work full time. If I was not able to work from home I would not be able to manage this pain. I caution everyone considering Reclast. I am under the care of my primary. She is wonderful but is learning how to navigate this long with me. She explains my body’s reaction as if it’s fighting a virus. The inflammation has impacted almost every area in my body. Please proceed with caution.

Susan ,
I too am having a hard time looking forward on what the next drug will be . I was so afraid of taking Evenity also . I have a call with my endocrinologist on Wednesday and will see what the next step is in her mind . I’ve had to ask for bone markers etc . I am glad I was well informed before starting this whole process. I don’t have much confidence in her !
