My doc is following Tymlos up with a 20% test dose of Reclast with IV hydration and slow infusion. He much prefers it to alendronate but if I could tolerate that once a week (which I didn't in the past) I would consider that if I cannot tolerate Reclast.

I just finished Forteo in September. My Endocrinologist put me on Fosamax.

My endo, at my first visit ,9 months ago, after having a spinal fragility fracture ,meaning I didn't do anything traumatic to cause my fracture - I simply stood up off an unsupported couch by flexing forward... recommended Forteo , with Reclast as the follow up drug .His reason stated was that improvements made from Forteo are longer lasting in lengthen of time than with Fosamax. When I consulted with McCormick I told him I didn't want to be on drugs for life and he said I could do what he did - Forteo 2 yrs-Alendronate /Fosamax 1yr-- but because I had issues with Gerd in the past he said Actinol would better for me.
Now after my initial appt with McCormick some other testing was done. I am losing Calcium in my urine. He wants me to do the test again, cause he questions if I may have forgotten and taken CA supplements in the 48 hrs prior to testing . Though I think I did it correctly, but now have to get my endo to ok that test again and haven't heard back. I'm wondering if she might not give me the script. But in the meantime my endo had recommended a medication htcz- a blood pressure med that supposedly impacts bone density. I was looking to McCormick to have a different more natural way of combatting this issue, but he led me to believe in my follow up visit that that med is the way. not explicitly, but that is what I took from the conversation. So now I'm left to wonder if in the end if I can't change my system of losing Calcium would any treatment even help at all and if it did probably having it last for long term may be difficult or impossible. Who else is losing CA and what was recommended to you, and how are the results of what you've done? I'm all ears!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES!!!
