@becsbuddy, I was diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis several, several yrs ago...taken Fosomax, Forteo, and others before starting Reclast three years ago. Absolutely No side effects for me. Also, because of stage 3 CKD diagnosis a yr ago, I checked with doc before last summer Reclast infusion...was ok to proceed. The very good news for me was that the 1st two yrs ff Reclast, my numbers improved! Last yr, values stayed constant...no drop nor improvement. Told the goal from the beginning with Reclast was to "maintain my bone density" ...so glad, too, to see this post Because, while I've had the Dexa scan required each yr before infusion, I haven't yet heard from office for infusion date...(lag to hear approval from ins/medicare) Short term memory issues! ....a different issue for another day, yes??? vbg
