Bone loss

[Pete]

I'm taking caltrate+D twice a day. I'm having a bone density test in August to see how I'm doing. No other issues for now.

I'm taking daily Calcium & Vitamin D as well.

My doctor also has me on an annual infusion of Reclast/Zoledronic acid to help avoid osteoporosis. I had one infusion last August with no side effect and will have another this August, as in the meantime I relapsed and am back on high doses of prednisone.

Also to note: I had Wegener's kidney involvement, but my kidneys were back to normal by the time I got the first reclast infusion.

Good luck!

I take two types of calcium and Vitamin D daily and a generic Fosomax once a week. My bone loss has been minimal and notice no special side effects from the meds. I lost one tooth but it was attributed to a chronic infection in the gums related to suppressed immune system.
