The test dose that is 20% of the usual dose is to be followed in 3 months by a dose of my choosing. My other endo told me that a half dose is as effective as a full dose.

My kidney values came up slightly in testing today so I am encouraged. My main endo fit me in this week to discuss how to proceed.

@windyshores, @normahorn, and all...Good to hear from you Windyshores. It sounds like perhaps you're dealing with borderline kidney issues or a number in your bloodwork that the doctor advised you to proceed cautiously toward Reclast? If I'm reading between the lines well, you and your endocrinologist came up with this smaller dose per dose more frequently to allow you to have the help from Reclast without the kidney harm? If so, this is great!!! You may have a good solution so you can still partake of the bone treatment you need. I love it!

This sounds like the way my doctors and I work together to make decisions tailored just for me and my crazy body. It's a real treat to have medical folks who will actually work with me like this and who treat me like I might have some information, and knowledge about my own body that can be helpful to my care. What a wonderful feeling this is!

Keep us up with how things go. I wish you good things from this treatment. Just think, you're paving the way for someone else who may need the same type of procedure manipulation to make it work for them. You're a trailblazer.
Blessings, Elizabeth
