Yes, I am the one who posted about declining after one doctor mentioned that as an option to me.
The NP at the osteoporosis clinic reluctantly had agreed to half dosage for the first 2 months but is adamant regarding full dosage after that. I am not willing to commit to that. I want the second syringe saved for the following month and would far prefer to be upfront so that can happen. I wish we could get Amgen to acknowledge the option so we would not have to fight so hard to do what is right for us. I can foresee another battle trying to get a trial dose of ReClast with her attitude.
Mybe all of us lightweight need to contact Amgen to enforce that this is not an isolated request.

@normahorn did you get them to save the second syringe? This is costing me $427 and I am only getting half. It may be too late this time but next time I will tell the nurse I want to save it. Part of the charge is, no doubt, administration in the office and I wish I could do it myself. I would do 1 1/3 syringes!
Another issue is the longish half life so there is still some Evenity still active at 30 days, hence the "steady state" after the third dose.
I have pins and needles all over. Tolerable but at the full dose, it could be hard to tolerate.
Did you continue with one shot or did you stop?
