I had to think long and hard about doing any drug, but after my second bone scan I decided to do something. To answer your question; my first infusion I had some flu like symptoms for about 6 to 8 hours. This second infusion I had in March, I did not have any side effects. Drink lots of water and take a Tylenol; it helps. I do have aches and pains but I had these before the Reclast. I too was hesitant because of everything I read and researched but my family advised me the benefits out weighed the risks. I will have my bone scan this December, that will be the determinant factor on the decision. I wish you the best. Osteoporosis is a real bite isn’t it.

I'm happy to report that Hubby's doing fine after his first Reclast infusion 2 weeks ago, with no side effects whatsoever. Hoping it will help prevent a third vertebral fracture and subsequent kyphoplasty surgeries. Wish we had done this sooner!

I had my first infusion last Thursday. I had slight pain in my lower legs the next day but nothing else. Drink lots of water, take Tylenol and try not to overthink!
