Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

@dingus pharmacists seem to know more about side effects than doctors, in my experience. I am not sure the doctors even google the online lists! Again in my experience I hear "I have never heard of that" or "Noone else has reported that to me."
If you talk to a pharmacist, that helps because you can then tell the doctor that the pharmacist said such and such rather than the typical "I read that" or "someone on a forum told me that" 🙂

My primary doctor prescribed Reclast. On the way home after the infusion, I developed a bad headache and nausea. For the next 45 days, I had Covidlike symptoms and couldn't clean my house. My primary doctor and an endocrinologist both insisted that I soon would feel better. They wouldn't prescribe anything as they said drugs might cause allergies that would complicate symptoms. I contacted the FDA and filled out a questionnaire. No reply was forthcoming. I journaled my symptoms and called my doctors. They both said, "You'll soon be better. You are not dying." Now I'm afraid to try another drug that my doctors have recommended.

Does anyone in the Houston area know a doctor who can help me with these Reclast side effects? I've been to three Endocrinologists, one Immunologist and even asked my Gastroenterologist. All of them replied, "Nope. Not the Reclast!" without examining me. Didn't even offer an appointment to talk about it. Surely there is someone in this fourth largest city in the U.S. who can help me. I'm at my wits end.
