Anyone who has been a quad for 34 years has advanced osteoporosis. If you can
find a way to get calcium to bond to the bone in a more normal hard way, well,
I want to hear about it. As a quad your glands no longer produce the hormones
your body needs to repair or to replace bone in any fashion that doesn't have
harmfull side effects. Kidney, bladder, bone spurs and deformities are the
usual result of most treatments based on increased calcium. You need to be very
careful doing transfers.
I don't know if reclast works. If it does work I wish my doctor would let me in
on it. I already have kidney problems so I'm not a candidate.
My hypothesis is to isolate the combination of hormones needed to cause
hardening bones then synthesize them. Stem cells are suppose to be showing
promise. I think this is a problem they will solve soon I am not real
impressed with reclast. I'd sure want to talk to another quad that has used it
successfully.
Best Wishes,
john

Hello, I am new to this and would like to know if anyone gets this email. I am
a women, c5-6 injured 34 yrs. I am 50 now, not in menopause yet. I just found
out I have a bad case of osteoporosis " neg. 3.8" in my hips. I have an
appointment with an endocrinologist on the 13th but my gynecologist thinks
reclast injections is what the endro. Dr will do for it. Anybody out there have
any feedback? I am worried about transfers etc. now. Thanks
