I was seeing an endocrinologist - suggested by my GP - for osteoporosis. She recommended Reclast, as I had reactions to all other (oral) meds prescribed by my GP. However, after the 1st infusion, I had a severe reaction approximately 12 - 14 hours after the infusion. High fever, chills, sweating, nausea (dry heaves), dizziness, and severe headache. I reported this - She said my reaction was highly unusual. I felt so awful, I refused future infusions. Honestly felt as if I had been poisoned. Now I am working on dietary changes - following a low lectin diet - and significant increase in weight workouts. Slight improvement in my bone density after my last exam. Next one this summer. I will say that I had 2 bicycle 'cradhes'. Both times fell on my femoral neck (huge bruising/hematoma), but no fractures. My dexa score is lowest in this area. So I belive my 'bone strength' might be much better than my bone 'density'. I hope your endocrinologist recommends working on gut bacteria remediation. Much of what I read indicates a possible absorption issue when the 'diet' is nutritionally sound.

The majority of osteoporosis is caused by loss of hormones during and after menopause. It is important to rule out secondary causes.

@fsf thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
