Thank you. My instructions for the infusion are different: 16 oz of water on the way to the appointment; Start 5,000 IUs of D-3 and 500-600 mgs of calcium per day. Glad you had no side effects. The exercise is important. Thanks again.

@seniorlady, I think the dosage of Vitamin D, calcium, etc is determined by the level of bone loss and extent of osteoporosis. My situation has contributing factors -- about 18 years ago, I was on extremely high dosages of prednisone for 2 years due to issues with the lining of my heart. It's now recognized that high doses of prednisone affects bone loss. But the prednisone worked wonderfully and I've overcome the heart issue! Best wishes!
