Thank you for your detailed reaction to Fosamax and the Reclast infusion. I am so sorry you had the reactions to both! It sounds like when you were taking the Fosamax you may have had what they describe as “an atypical femur fracture” but maybe not if you recovered quickly.
Your reaction to the Reclast is what really frightens me about the infusion. My Dr. said 3 or 4 days with flu like symptoms but no one wants to discuss lingering reactions to the drug that could last for months like you or come and go. I am fully aware that one persons experience may not be the same as another, however, my Dr. didn’t relay any lingering side effects, she kinda brushed it off and she certainly didn’t talk percentages(40% is a lot in my opinion).
I have arthritis in some joints and have had a knee and hip replacement so I am truly nervous about how I will tolerate the effects of the infusion.
I do feel like you. Our quality of life is important. I try to stay active as much as possible and most days have no ongoing pain to deal with except the arthritis, which I can deal with. In the meantime, I am still in limbo regarding what to do. I appreciate your reply.
