Reclast after Forteo?

@mayblin it seems, from your posts, that Reclast might be best if we are satisfied with anabolic results and just want to "lock in" gains. But if we are not satisfied with results and have exhausted the active phase of an anabolic the first time around, and anticipate another round in the future, a weaker bisphosphonate might be best. Do you agree?

My doc is prescribing Reclast but also says I may do an anabolic in the future.

I am also very interested in your reply. I have only one parathyroid gland, because the other three were removed in 1996, along with my thyroid gland. The remaining parathyroid gland is failing. I very much want to take another round or Forteo or try Tylmos, and I certainly do not want to take a bisphosphonate that will stop the osteoblasts.

You summed it up perfectly, @ windyshore!

It seems for a long term (20-30 years) management of op, multiple use of anabolics is inevitable. The selection of an antiresorptive in between is part of key for the success.

You’ve gone through so much and have an amazing ability to make most out of a treatment under a difficult situation. Wish continued success in your next step. Keep us posted please.
