We all know that some people love Reclast. But some people are really harmed by it. Those who are harmed don't need to hear the success stories. It's like the guy who is in the middle of the lake and he has a big hole in his boat and it's sinking fast. He's doomed. And the people on the shore are all calling out to him and telling him how they saved themselves. "We're about to throw some steaks on the grill and drink a cold one. Too bad you can't join us," they say as he sinks into the bottom of the lake.

I, for one, am not going to shoot you down for inserting a dose of reality into the situation. While the majority may not be harmed, those who are have a right and obligation to speak up. And I have the right to full disclosure of any risks I might be taking if I choose ReClast.
My Neurosurgeon did not play down the risk of neck surgery. She volunteered that I could be the rare case where the surgery left one paralyzed from the neck down.

@dingus I wish you would read my posts more carefully. I also have side effects and always add a caveat because people are scared and many have no choice.
I wrote that the doctor involved was not really forthright about the fact that Reclast builds bone density or that it stays in the bones a very long time. I have struggle for 20 years with trying to tolerate meds, including through cancer. I think you misunderstand my intentions. I aim for balance. I have many health issues and may not be typical in my struggles.
I don't know anyone who "loves" any of these meds. I didn't love my cancer meds either but I'm still here 10 years later and I haven't fractured since I went on meds. I am in pain all the time and cannot tolerate another fracture.
