@contentandwell as I have written, I am in the same situation with kidneys. I forget if I told you that my doc is going to start with 1/4 dose Reclast and either do it more frequently or if I tolerate it, do more at the same time. Hydration, premeds, and slow infusion.
I also have serious GERD (GFR 49-53.)
Please let me know what you end up doing!

I have 2 1/2 months left on Tymlos. Did you do 18 months or two years?

Hi, @windyshores My endocrinologist wants to start with a half dose, slow infusion. I think the slow infusion is not related to it being a half dose, I think that's simply because it causes fewer side effects than a faster infusion, but I could be wrong about that. I thought she was checking with my transplant team but apparently she expected me to do that. When I finally realized that I sent them a message but haven't heard back yet. I stopped Tymlos a little over a month ago so I really want to get moving on something that will preserve my gains.

I did 23 months on Tymlos. Part of my reason was that if I wrapped around to a 24th month I would have a very large deductible to meet and my doctor did not feel it would make enough difference to do that extra month. Also, although I had no side effects for a long time I developed very achy leg muscles and joints after being on Tymlos for a while - it took more than a year for that to develop.
