My goal is to follow the same path. I am in a similar situation as McCormick (although I haven't had a new DEXA yet, so I am hoping to be under -3.0 at that point.) I go to the gym and I run, so I feel good. My hope is to just keep my bones good enough without having to be on meds for years. I'll know more over the next three months when I have my Echolight and DEXA scans. My six-month P1NP wasn't exciting but I feel like it's not telling the whole story. We will see...

@njx58 I assume you are hoping to be "over" -3.0 not under 🙂 My P1NP's are all disappointing yet my DEXA showed dramatic gains. Hope that's true for you!

I read these posts and it just makes me sick. Everybody has a different idea about how to deal with their deteriorating bones. Yes, some have been helped by Reclast and other bone drugs, but many have been harmed. There is no definitive protocol. The only protocol is a drug salesman coming into the doctor's office and saying "Here, try this." I agree with Windyshores, "We are all basically experiments." More in depth research has to be done before they infuse another unsuspecting patient. I've been dealing with these side effects for a year and a half. I worry most about the 80 year olds. They don't have time to deal with the side effects of a drug that was supposed to help them.
