Good Evening @lindawinn, welcome to Connect. You have described my bodies reaction to Boniva, It appears that all biophosonates are not good choices for you or me. Have you talked with your prescribing clinician? When is your next scheduled infusion?

The major issue for me was the fact that I had side effects every month for four months. This is not a medication that my body grew to tolerate. My PCP stopped this treatment and referred me to an endocrinologist.

After some research and more tests, I chose Tymlos. The injections are daily so if you need to stop because of an issue, you only have one day’s medication to deal with. The product does not require refrigeration. I am now on month 5 of 18 months.

Good luck with finding a good fit for you. May you be free of suffering. I am here for you. Chris

Hi @lindawinn, and welcome to Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about zoledronic acid (brand names Reclast or Zometa). I did this so you can connect with other members who have experience with this treatment. Simply click VIEW & REPLY to scroll through past posts.

Linda, are you taking Reclast for the treatment of osteoporosis? I encourage you to read the information by Mayo Clinic starting here:
– Osteoporosis https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351968
– How to keep your bones strong https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/how-to-keep-your-bones-strong/art-20304596

Be sure to also see the related links at the end of the each article.

Like @artscaping there are many members here on Connect who are living well with osteoporosis. Have you returned to your doctor since the infusion in June to tell him/her about your side effects? There are other options. Have any been discussed?
