I have just started doing my research on Reclast because that is what the endocrinologist I saw is recommending. She told me at the end of the visit that I have to something. I have had osteoporosis for years. I am in my 70’s.
My DEXA scores have been pretty much the same. I have a healthy diet, use the treadmill 5 days a week, work with resistance bands, do balance exercises, etc. I know my PCP wants me on Reclast because she has seen too many active senior break a hip and end up in a nursing home.

I posted previously that I am now AFIB free after being diagnosed in 2013. I sent a message to the endo doc asking if she could share any current studies on Reclast and AFIB. She gave me a long explanation, but no studies. This doctor was not recommended to me. I just looked at her bio and it sounded like she would listen and be open minded. I go to a large teaching hospital. She is on the faculty there and is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, for whatever that is worth. I am not switching doctors, because without a recommendation, I would be just pulling another name “out of the hat”.

I am thinking about reaching out to a clinical pharmacist in the endocrinology clinic. That person may be able to help with some of my questIons. Have any of you used this avenue as a resource?

I just told my husband I am sick of doing all this research!!! I am an over thinker! In addition to that, I have an anxiety disorder!! I am taking a “research”break this weekend. In saying that, though, I am sure I will be adding a few more things to my Reclast to do/questions list.
