Reclast is a bisphosphonate -- why don't you start with an oral version, such as Fosamax? My Dr told me I could take a 1/2 dose (35mg) and studies show that is almost as effective as the normal 70 mg dose.

Being newly diagnosed (as I am) I would recommend getting the book by Dr. Keith McCormick called “Great Bones” so you can read about bone loss, causes, treatments, dietary recommendations, exercises to combat bone loss. Chapter 14 discusses each one of the medications, how it works, possible side effects, blood test that he feels are pertinent to having done prior to just placing someone on meds. You can read his story, diagnosed at age 45, has had 12 fractures and a very low bone score. Competed in the USA Olympics and competes in triathlons to this day. He didn't go on medication and has improved his bone health without them. The books a wealth of information. You can also go on YouTube and Google his name there are interviews with him as the speaker. I keep listening to him speak over and over and learning things I didn’t hear the first time.

I was also told to go on Reclast , but I am reading this book first, so I can make an informed decision.

@horserider79 I would definitely question it before going on it especially since you have other problems. I have been on a number of osteoporosis drugs over the last 10 or so years and I had three class for the first time a few months ago and had a lot of problems. Very sick, pain and I know I'm not going to get it again. I don't know if that's of any help but that was my experience. Jaynedanco
