Thanx for reviewing the NIH compilation because I read it the same as you insofar as alendronate seems equivalent to the Reclast. And I just might consult with McСormick anyway now that I feel a little less desperate. Thanx for the suggestion.

I would have placed a substantial wager on a non-response from my doctor to the article I sent him. That was my Hail Mary after running into difficulty with getting an endocrinologist appointment. My doc is probably the most authoritarian and least interested in patient perspective (or at least this patient's perspective) of any doctor I have ever had.
