Doc switched Reclast to Prolia after 2 years?

Posted by annieb31 @annieb31, Nov 10 6:05am

Currently i am 69 years young, thin frame, lift weights,eat well non smoker.
In 2023 my gynecologist recommended i see a rhemotoligist as my BMD test came back as -2.9 osteoporosis. Doctor put me on yearly injection of Reclast ( no side effects) ,fast foward 2years my BMD is now -2.6
I thought this was pretty good.
Doctor said no ,and wants to put me on Prolia . I don't want to go on this as it lifelong expensive drug.
Plus I read about the rebound effect when stopping the drug and going back to an alternative drug like Reclast. I'm very confused

Interesting starting meds with reclast. What might they say about an anabolic.
If you are uneasy how about a consult with Keith McCormick or getting another opinion from an osteoporosis expert if your docs or not. In the meantime read as much as you can here as well as latest research.

I have had stomach issues in the past and my rhemotoligist didn't want to aggravate my stomach with a pill..
How do I get in contact with Keith McCormick?
