@njx58 yeah for real, it was a complete shit show to get this medication approved and dispensed ..even after it was approved by my insurance I had to chase down every specialty pharmacy in my state for anothet week until I finally scored! Like for real, it was as if no pharmacy I talked to were able to dispense it. I went around in circles..The American health care system right? And when I finally got it sorted through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy. Absolute bonkers process

@alexandercrps what health care?? I am attempting to get a DEXA after treatment on Reclast for one year and wow what I fight I am having. Medicare will cover it (as medically necessary for monitoring big pharma treatment). Drug is working as far as a CTX measurement goes according to the doctor (from 52 - 78 after year on Reclast but I have no idea what that means) but like pulling teeth to get a DEXA. (Doc feels it is not necessary, and yes, we will talk about that at next appointment.) I would love to say Reclast works great as I was told it would and I have big bone density improvements but without a DEXA I dunno. Very few side effects though, all easily dealt with.
