My endocrinologist has been nervous about Reclast for me because of my general tendency to have bad reactions, and also because he used to be afraid my very infrequent afib might be worsened. He has not seemed wary of kidney issues but I have not met at length with him and see him this week.
On the other hand the nephrologist I saw for the first time was very concerned about kidneys and says her practice has seen a few individuals experience kidney failure. She said it is very rare but when it happens it is devastating. So she is happy I delayed the Reclast while I try to get my kidney function back up (salt, protein, no NSAID's, and trying to get heart going faster and bp up).
I was pleased that my blood test this morning showed some improvement. I am continuing Tymlos until I can do the 20% dose of Reclast.
@ess77 I totally agree on accommodating docs who pay attention and am so glad you also have that!
