Thanks windy shores for your response. My Dr did not mention the option of a slower start of the reclast to test it. I am in the process of looking for a rheumatologist to get another opinion from the endocrinologist I am currently seeing.

I was just about ready to go ahead with the Reclast until I came upon the review section on Drugs.com. There are not only the comments of unending body aches, joint pain and migraines but some patients commented on extensive hair loss. Have you heard this?

Good luck with your treatments. I hope all goes well. Have you had an updated DEXA since being on Tymlos? I Pray for no more fractures for everyone!

@thehuth6 I expect some side effects, but especially the flu-like effects in the first days. My doc thinks that with proper monitoring, I can take breaks from meds.

If I don't react badly to 1/4 dose Reclast, he will quickly give me more. Or we will space out lower doses. I appreciate his flexibility. I have bad GERD so cannot take oral bisphosphonates but perhaps that is an option for you. Taking a lower dose of Reclast more frequently may be the answer for me and replicates oral meds in some ways.

I have a DEXA in late March. I have been feeling stronger and walked 20 miles in two days recently. However, I am waiting to see if I have yet another fracture from reaching for something in the grocery store a few days ag. A lot of pain...time will tell. Even with new strength and improvement in DEXA, I cannot expect to be safe from this kind of thing.
