I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to a new endocrinologist on Monday 8-19-24. I mentioned to her that I had serious side effects from a Reclast infusion. She immediately went into a discussion of taking calcium and vitamin D. Yeah. Been doing that for years. I even had a list of my side effects on a piece of paper in my hand. She didn't even ask to see it. And before I could show it to her she was packing up her notes and getting ready to leave the exam room. On the way out I asked my boy friend if she had said anything about Reclast. I thought I missed something. He said "No. She hadn't mentioned Reclast." I was the only one who mentioned it. She had no comment. And that was the reason I was going to her...to get some answers regarding Reclast. Strange. What are these docs afraid of?

@dingus You are not alone! What they're afraid of, imo, is that we understand that they merely prescribe drugs according to what the sales rep and the literature from the pharmaceutical company (Big Pharma) tells them. They don't consider the side effects because they are told that they are "minimal." I would also venture to guess that they get financial support for prescribing the drug. I'm a retired RN, injured by Reclast and this is my opinion.
