Hello. I will respond to the part of your story that I can relate to. My primary doc also pushed prolia . I went to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion. I now take once yearly infusion of Reclast. I’m taking the final of the three infusions in May and I hope that will be my last one for many years. I have no side effects from the infusion. I hope this helps.

Hi! You mentioned that you went to Mayo for a 2nd opinion and now get a once yearly infusion of Reclast. But then you said that you will get the final of 3 infusions in May. Why 3 if you get just one a year? If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been on Reclast? My older sister was on Reclast for 3 yrs. I think it was 3 yrs. She then had a density test and was told how well her bone density improved. She went off of Reclast for 2 yrs. Had another density test & was then told the density of her bones were terrible- so porous. Bottom line, she's back to "square one". I wish there was a way that Reclast or any osteo med would do the job for us while taking them for 3 or 4 yrs and then our bone structure would stay strong and our bone remodeling would continue to be balanced and maintained while the meds are discontinued, but, unfortunately I don't think that's how it works. Also, it's my opinion that there are hidden or unreported side effects of ANY med.
Please reply when you can. Thank you so much.
