Gently , thank you.
Gently, we moved to Melbourne FL from Atlanta 7 years ago. I was with 3 endocrinologists. First one I left because I think he simply waits his retainment and only recently a friend (bridge game group) told that he did wrong diagnose, removed her thyroid, it was a mistake, now she needs take pills every day. Then endocrinologist with whom I now and for second opinion I took an appointment with third, she is an endocrinologist of my husband, a wonderful lady. She prescribed me low doses of Reclast and Medicare called her and told that it is impossible. I stay with my endocrinologist because I thought she knows her subject good. But may be I am wrong, when after breaking my hand I came with a lot of printed researches how to discontinue Prolia, first question to me was Are you a physician? and she asked to copy all these papers.
I hope that words your favorite endocrinologist are right for me and 1 Reclast works 2 years. I read (I need to reread again) that Reclast after Prolia must be done 2 infusions. Tymlos and Forte DO NOT work after Prolia immediately, density after Prolia drops with these medicines according Mayo clinic. A code even for 1 mg of Reclast is the SAME, but it must be something else, Medicare told me that they can not tell me, they will lose their job.
So it looks so way, my husband feels better and second 5 mg Reclast must be done soon or later.1 month in bed or fracture', which weight more?
In Orlando there was a very good endocrinologist, but she moved. May be somebody from Orlando here?

I'm happy you have a good endocrinologist.
Maybe: ask her to write a note to the infusion center asking them to dilute Reclast for a slower infusion and that they to watch you during the infusion for any side effects, because of your sensitivity to medications. Then midway you could ask that they stop the infusion.
If you aren't familiar with the stop flow on the IV line, you might ask the infusion nurse where it is, explaining that you fear anaphalaxis.
This is better because you won't have to wait and then suffer the process all over again.
Your endocrinologist does sound responsive, I'm never happy to be sidelined to a PA especially one who takes five months to respond.
