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.

I am glad to hear that your doctor is doing blood work first, @pammy816. Your doctor sounds very thorough. I can understand why you hesitate to have a once-a-year infusion, those doubts run through my mind as well. Treating osteoporosis is important in order to avoid fractures and falls. So, we all have to make a decision after weighing the risks and benefits.

I look forward to your posts to see how you manage this medication decision and how it works for you.

Do you have other chronic health conditions, besides osteoporosis?
