@loriesco From your response to me on the bone markers it seems we have misunderstood each other. I'll say what I think might reduce the confusions and then bow out.
1. If your ctx goes up with Reclast or stays the same after an infusion that is generally not good. You are trying to suppress osteoclast activity. Eventually the osteoclast activity will come back up and that is normal. One year between an infusion is an average time that may not be best for everyone but seems to work for most. It may result in more Reclast infusions and side effects than necessary.
2. I was in no way advocating you take Reclast at the same time as Evenity.
I was using Reclast and it's effects on bone markers as examples of a way of thinking.
3. I was not suggesting your doctors were bad or lacking in knowledge. I do not know them. I was just stating that some doctors I have met and many described on these pages are lacking knowledge and critical thinking in these areas. So it behooves us to be diligent. Sounds like you are already doing that.
4. As you say you are confident in your doctors that is great. One less big thing to worry about.

I was t taking offense. There are a lot of people here who do have bad doctors; there are also people here who have good doctors, but they are bad patients L O L! my endocrinology doctor has been a hard nut to crack as they say; so I had to push more than a little bit to get the information I deserved. It’s probably part and parcel of the medical system and the shortage of staff since the affordable healthcare act and Covid, I don’t blame anyone personally. It’s just a hard time to need medical services. Thank you for your input.
