@awfultruth, Thanks for the intel about CTX. My rheumatologist said that a DEXA is the only test necessary while on bone builders. I essentially fired that doc and met with a second rheumatologist last week. This doc is fantastic - he actually listened to my questions and provided thoughtful, informative answers. He agreed that a baseline CTX would be helpful going forward and understood my apprehension about Prolia.

The new doc also wanted to confer with a colleague about the administration of Reclast after having perhaps 6 or 7 infusions. I should find out today if that will happen. When I asked him what the consequences might be for too many Reclast infusions, he stated, as another member stated here, the fear is ONJ and spontaneous femur fracture. He also ordered x-rays of both femurs to get baseline info.

Happy Monday, all! Cheers!
