@normahorn, @windyshores, and all...You know, Norma, you have some great questions that are important for us to understand. I researched online and haven't found a direct answer to the timing questions. Just see different delivery requirements for each specific reason for giving the med. It seems those with multiple myelomas have injections every several months. Those like us who are older and post-menopausal women need the infusion annually for several years. In my case, a 3-year treatment, 1X annually, at specific days intervals. I have Paget's Disease and this is the only treatment for that. Other diseases require different timing.

This is a question I'm asking my endocrinologist when we chat. Why don't you ck with yours and let us know? Hopefully, someone who knows will be sending us a message giving us good information. I don't fully understand what Reclast does, how it works and why so differently. Also, there are different strengths for different folks and diseases. For me, this is getting into weeds I won't understand and I'm leaving it up to the docs I trust to know what, why, and when. That's their job. Mine is to do due diligence and make the decisions for my best.

Norma, be sure I'm not the poster child or poster 'old lady' for having Reclast infusions. Nope! I'm simply a pleased patient who's working closely with her healthcare team to get the most out of this body for the time I have to enjoy.

Keep us informed if you will. It's good to share. Elizabeth
