High anxiety regarding Reclast or Prolia decison for OP meds

I am going in tomorrow afternoon (8/26) for my first Reclast infusion. I am seeking some advice as to anything I should do prior to the infusion. My blood work was done 45 days back and the parameters were normal. Vit D was at the lower level of normal 26 ng/mL. But I have been on 5000 IU of vit D for 45 days now since my last blood work. Calcium was at 9.4 mg/dL and Creatinine Plus was at .90 mg/dL. I have been also taking some supplemental calcium.
Also, does taking Tylenol prior to the infusion help?
Thank you.

Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate is what I've read. Also my Dr mentioned getting plenty of electrolytes in you before and after. And Tylenol before and after. I'm sure others here can help you more than I can. Please keep us posted.

The advice given to me by my doctor and on this forum was to hydrate the day before, day of and day after. I actually had IV hydration due to some kidney issues. Many of us ask for a slow infusion over, say, an hour. Tylenol as needed for me but some do it before and after. I had a low grade fever- no biggie- and took tylenol for that.
