Default Reclast???

I talked my my gyno's nurse about my concern with actonel due to stomach issues (GERD). I had three ulcers several years ago, and whenever I try to go off of nexium I am miserable by mid afternoon. So the nurse just called me back and said she wanted to try reclast. I also had bloodwork for Vit D today. My bone density test showed moderate to server osteopenia in my hip and spine. I am going to put this off at least until July when my insurance changes. Reclast scares me a bit too. YiKes!

It is a tough decision.
