Reclast side effects

About a month ago (how time flies) I had posted that I went to yet another Endocrinologist. We spoke briefly on the phone after the appointment, and I then read her comments on My Chart. On My Chart she mentioned that she recommended that I continue Reclast, but that I didn't want to because it made me dizzy. Ha!! What a joke!!! Dizziness was only one of thirteen side effects I am experiencing on Reclast. While at the appointment I tried to show her a list of all my side effects. She avoided taking the paper that I had so neatly prepared for her, and said we could talk about it again at my next appointment in DECEMBER!!! I was hoping to have some relief from these side effects well before December.
During our conversation I asked her if my bone density had gotten any better after I had the Reclast infusion. I had a bone density test on 1-17-23, Reclast on 2-21-23, and another bone density on 5-20-24. She said "no". It was one of those quick little "no" answers. It indicated to me that she hadn't really looked into it, or she didn't want to spend any more time with me. I have so many more thoughts, but I guess it's just time to find another doctor. All I know for sure is that I will never take Reclast again.

dingus,
I do think you need a different doctor- not hard to find, I know.
This osteoporosis issue is too complicated to. navigate without a doctor who’s fully engaged.
My endocrinologist was so disconnected to my treatment and so poorly educated about osteoporosis that I returned to the cheeky rheumatologist who was willing to learn more.
