I personally know two friends who have done reclast and said they had no side effects which gives me a bit of courage in case that’s what my doctor recommends after I’m done with Tymlos in 2026.
As I posted earlier I’ve been disappointed in my one year mark dexa result on Tymlos - zero gains !
I questioned my doctor about this who says if I hasn’t been on it this past year my numbers would’ve likely gone down since I had stopped HRT. She says at least the Tymlos has held my numbers steady .
Still , I’m disappointed . You would think based on the drug ads for Tymlos that I’d have had a bigger bump showing on dexa.
I think I’ll listen to the dr and do the full course of 18-24 months even though I hate taking anything ! And then I’ll do one more dexa and then maybe do recast if that’s what my dr recommends . BUT I will ask for all the pre-treatment precautions mentioned in this helpful group( slow infusion, stay hydrated, etc)
What appeals to me about recast is the quick treatment and then going on with your life for at least a year . I hate the thought of daily or weekly or Monthly pills and all the bad side effects of the other bisphosphonates.
