leeosteo,
I hydrated a lot the day before the infusion- and the day of, and day after. I had asked for a longer infusion time. It was 60 minutes. There was a saline drip after. The day before, I started a Tylenol regimen which I’m still on.
Infusion was Thursday. I saw two of my clients that afternoon. Friday, I saw six clients.
I have been extremely anxious about this infusion. As I was about the Evenity before.
Thursday, when went to rheumatologist office for infusion, there were three other patients there getting infused. Not with Reclast, but with other meds.
One was getting pain meds with steroids. One was in a wheelchair. It reminded me of when I used to drive to Nashville (7 hours) to take my friend to chemo.
Everyone was pretty chill and there was camaraderie.
All women. I felt strengthened by these women- the nurse also - and just did what had to be done.
Also, this site has helped me more in the last year than any other source.
If a team of Johns Hopkins endocrinologists told me to do something, I would bounce it off windyshores first.
