I understood what you were saying 🙂I wasn’t taking anything for bone building before that, thinking that running and weight training and swimming and good nutrition would be enough but it wasn’t. So Reclast is my first osteoporosis intervention. My endocrinologist felt that it would be the most effective option and also the least likely to have bad side effects -, the shot every six months, unfortunately leads to rapid bone loss
after you discontinue it, according to my endocrinologist. The Reclast regimen she has me on is one infusion per year for three years and then a “vacation” for a year or two because if you take it continuously for more than 3 years it can cause side effects such as brittle femur like Fosomax does. I’m crossing my fingers that the Reclast will help- I am scared of falling all the time now - I’m 11 months out from breaking my hip and it won’t be fully healed until a full year is up. A long rehab and I want to get back to being active! Hard for someone who was training for a half marathon to spend a year recovering from a broken hip🙁
