@renay110 I found another article for you. It seems to say that osteoporosis is more likely to happen in systemic mast disease than cutaneous mast disease. More likely to happen but still exceedingly rare.

I hope the article is able to set your mind at ease. What type of MCD do you have?

It is probably cutaneous because of the hives and angioedema. I have had allergy tests done numerous times. I still think it is a filler that they use in some medications. Too many medications coming from China.

@she1 Are you thinking about going on Reclast? Ive been on Fosamax for about 3 years and now the doctor wants me to go on Reclast. What have you heard about it?

Took fosamax last year, 3 doses. Had hair loss, numbness in arms and fingers, extreme fatigue. Stopped taking it. Doctor said it was taking calcium out of my body.

Now gyn wants me to take prolia and I refused. Don't want the side effects. Anyone have experience with this? Any natural cures that work?

Besides bisphosphonates like Fosamax and Reclast, there is Prolia, which is also an anti-resorptive. If your osteoporosis is more severe or you have fractured, your choices would be Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity, which grow bone (Evenity grows bone and also affects resorption).

I agree about the fillers. i had angioedema and hives for months before I found out it was my blood pressure medication. I had to switch to another one.
