I just found out my osteopeinia has progressed to to full blown osteoporosis. I've been tracking this for ten years. I can't take Fosomax , or any of the other drugs in that class; huge upper GI issues when I tried. I have been on and off Evista for about 5 years, but every time I have to stop it because I get estrogen-like side effects, which scare the crap out of me. So, I'm at my last resort. I even began running to try and get some impact exercise and weights, too. For some reason, my body does not absorb calcium/vitamin D maybe? I have been taking supplements for 25 years, but I guess my family history and other risk factors (slim, white, mother and grandmother had it) have doomed me, despite 20 years of high impact exercise before I started riding.
I am going to meet with my gyn. next week to set a plan, but has anyone here tried Reclast? I seem to remember someone talking about it. I am allergic to all kinds of things and from what I can see, this might not have any side effects for me.
I guess I better not get in any crashes.
