I have a video health check in a month with my Kaiser doctor who prescribed to me Reclast after my last DEXA which I question the validity of because they are KNOWN to be all over the map...example: 2016 mild osteoPOROSIS, 2018...osteoPENIA (where did the porosis go? I did nothing special...did NOT take the prescribed FOSAMAX thankfully), 2022 Moderate osteoPOROSIS...notoriously unreliable.

My doctor knows that on blood tests the ONLY thing that is ever of MILD concern is that my GFR (glomuler filtration rate) is on the low end of NORMAL and occasionally has dipped JUST BELOW normal, I must get a blood draw before any prescription can be ordered for me and if the number is below normal they have to change it to something that doesn't negatively affect kidneys. So I'm shaking my head because she said "since you are resisting Fosamax would you consider a once a year RECLAST INFUSION? " I said what I always say..."let me research it and I'll get back to you". 2011 - FDA WARNS OF LINK BETWEEN RECLAST and Kidney FAILURE: Why would she ask me to take this drug...and I assume that like all other prescription meds it comes with the warning "Do not take <insert drug name here> if you are allergic to it." HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO IT UNTIL YOU TAKE IT? It's a ONCE A YEAR infusion! What if you get the infusion and THEN learn you are allergic to something in the mixture???? How do you get it OUT of your body? I'm beyond disgusted with medicine in the USA.
