Thank you, windyshores,
Helpful as always. I receive Evenity #11 tomorrow. #12 in May. I am scheduled to have Reclast in June.
I didn’t have side effects with Forteo, Tymlos, or Evenity. I feel lucky, but also feel that I’m tempting fate with Reclast. Of course, that is just superstition- either I react negatively to Reclast or I don’t.
A couple of years ago, I was meeting a friend for lunch. I got to the sushi place before her. When she showed up, she said,”Sorry I’m late. My Reclast infusion took longer than I expected.”
I was dumbfounded. I said, “What?! You just had a Reclast infusion!?” She had the attitude that this was no big deal. Still does.

@susanfalcon52 I had the same experience: I was eating lunch with a friend outside a cafe and another friend came by and said she had just has a Reclast infusion. She was fine: it was if she said she had just taken a tylenol. She wasn't aware at all that anyone ever had issues or questions about meds. She just did what she was told, and had no problems.
Chances are you will do fine and it is a whole lot easier doing the one infusion at full dose, since you don't have to go in more often. My docs actually said it might be better to wait a month or two for Reclast since it takes time for Evenity to mineralize. Then again another doc said studies showed no difference. I know McCormick says to do CTX to time transitions. As usual, no definite answers.
