Well, seems I have hit another bump in the road. Although, on the up side, today, I got some of the bloodwork taken... but not the CTX or the P1NP. These two must be ordered by a specialist.. Turns out the specialist is on an extended vacation, and won't be back until 15 April. [I left a message anyway] And there is no word on the bone density tests either.
Today, I was to speak with the pharmacist, but the prescription has not been written yet by the G.P. !
So the pharmacist wants to wait until we know what drug we are going with - makes sense. I assume the G.P. is waiting for the specialist to return to get the other blood work orders and still waiting for the insurance okay for the Forteo, or other generics.
It is different in Canada; there are long wait lists and things do seem to move slower than what I see in some Connect accounts.
So the progress is at a slow point, without any immediate hope of change. I do have my original Prolia appointment with the G.P. for 18 April. [I did not cancel it, just in case of delays] I will not be getting the Prolia - that is a 'for certain'! -- but, I will take all suggestions with me for the talk on ' what happens now' with the G.P. Clearly, Fosamax, or other like drug, will be necessary if there are still delays in the progress. I agree with your thoughts on Reclast; I have too many sensitive reactions to medications. [no, did not want me to take anything earlier. And no, not getting an endocrinologist referral either]
.... these are reasons why patience is such a difficult attribute to develop!!
This is feeling like a soap opera, but I will let you know just how this all works out! Thanks for listening!
