Hi everyone: I am having my second dexa upon discharge.
I did my first probably 6 years ago. I did go on Calcium and Vit and now I will get my follow up.
I met with a endocrine doctor who impressed me with her thoroughness and wisdom, she has ordered me a I.V drip, over a 15minute period, of Reclast which lasts a year. It is a treatment to strengthen bones. I will recieve that today or tomorrow while I am in the hospital. She also upped my dose of calcium. My levels finally came back normal. I went from 10000mg, to 1900mg . Im turning 50 and it is very important to have good bone health. Im also perimenapausal so I have to consider all the benefits to taking Reclast as opposed to the risks of Kidney clearance and what it might do to creatine levels, and such. It seems like a good plan. Side effects to Reclast are nausea, vomiting, flu like feelings. Not looking forward to that but perhaps I will be one of the lucky ones who don't get the side effects.
Isn't it amazing that we can actually talk about aging problems. I love it.
It's good to blab at you guys as I am so isolated in here with precautions. Thanks for listening<img src="i/expressions/praying.gif" border="0">. I will try to get back to you on how the Reclast treatment goes.

There will be a new med on the market soon that won't impact kidneys (not renally metabolized). And it won't be IV... it will be sub cu, just 2x a year.
I know many CFer's have kidney issues and many of the current options on the market can be super tough on the kidneys. It will be so nice to have another option soon!

I had a dexa done 2 years ago and was osteopenia. I had reclast done last december and so when I was in the hospital last week they ran another dexa to see if I had changed. Aparently the Reclast has really helped. I am normal in the spine now and even came up a little in the hip, even though it is still osteopenia. At least I had not lost any more.
