My Rheumatologist recommended either Fosamax or a Reclast (zoledronic acid) infusion when I was diagnosed in April this year even though my most recent bone density scan was normal. I selected the Reclast infusion and had no side effects. In April I was initially started on 60 mg of Prednisone because I had symptoms of GCA which was ruled out after a bilateral temporal biopsy. I am currently down to 11 mg of Prednisone and doing a slow taper of 1 mg a month. I will only need another Reclast infusion if I have to stay on Prednisone after April of next year. This sure has been a journey!!
