Hello @pammy816 and welcome to Mayo Connect. As a person who also has osteoporosis, I understand your concern over selecting the right treatment. As you read the posts of others who have tried different medications, it is important to remember that everyone reacts differently to medication.
I also tried an oral osteoporosis medication at first and had GI problems. Previously, I took Evista, also an oral medication, with no problems at all. There really is no "one-size-fits all" when it comes to any treatment. Like us all, in this forum, we each need to try a treatment plan that will benefit the bone loss we are experiencing. If it doesn't agree with us, our medical team can always find another treatment plan.
I look forward to hearing from you again with any other questions or concerns. Will you continue to post as you work on this decision?

Thank you for replying to my concerns. I fully agree that each person can react differently to meds. I am more concerned with Reclast only because once you do the infusion you can’t undo the effects if negative on your body for a period of time, like over a year, unlike stopping a pill. My Dr. wants to do bloodwork first to determine if something else is going on before giving me the infusion. I will keep posting.
