I'm 86 & had a pretty bad DEXA in October. My family doctor told me Reclast. I told him no. Not sure what I will do. Am seeing an endocrinologist at Univ of WI in April so will see what he/she says. I also have COPD & have just found out that what I take for that doesn't work for osteoporosis - makes it worse! Wonder if Dr McCormick still does consults..... Best of luck & good will to all!!

@guinivere McCormick still does consults but is very busy, actually inundated! Have you seen his book "Great Bones"? Also the YouTube video by Dr. Ben Leder on Combinations and Sequencing is helpful. Glad you are seeing an endocrinologist. PCP's seem to prescribe bisphoshonates first and for many of us, taking a bone builder like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity is better first, then Reclast.
