Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

susanfalcon52, when you say hydrated a lot do you mean 8-12 cups water? What was your tylenol regime? Did you have to ask for a saline drip after or is that standard practice with Reclast infusion? It's comforting that you found camaraderie during the procedure. My mind would be going nuts if I was alone. Thanks for your insight.

leeosteo,
The saline drip was a surprise. They had told me ahead of time to take Tylenol 3x a day. And, that I could add Motrin the night of the infusion.
I was drinking 90-100 oz of fluids. Coffee, tea, and water. Its two days later and I’m still on the Tylenol regimen. I do think I have some achyness. And, I’m tired. I probably should have taken it easier than I did.

Just want to add @leeosteo that we don't have to "gulp water" (my doctor's words) and drink to excess. Many of us are chronically dehydrated. So "hydration" means drinking what we ought to drink on any given day, which many of us don't do regularly! I am trying to hydrate more in general 🙂
Reclast goes through the kidneys and adequate hydration helps with that. It may also help with any after effects though I still had a low grade fever for a few days- no biggie.
