Thanks, hungrybirder, please do keep me posted regarding your third attempt at finding a good doctor in Houston. Third times a charm. I didn't get any information regarding hydration either. When I first got on this site others were talking about hydration and I didn't know what they were talking about. Makes ya wonder. I hate to think that a little water might be the difference between side effects and no side effects.

This is from the medication guide for ReClast:

Reclast is given by infusion into your vein (intravenously). Your infusion should last at least 15 minutes.
 Before you receive Reclast, drink at least 2 glasses of fluid (such as water) within a few hours as directed by your doctor.

I certainly hope the 3rd time is the charm! Meet with #3 in December so I'll update you then. I was lucky in that a friend in Ohio had a Reclast infusion the week before mine was scheduled and gave me the information she received from her rheumatologist so I had no side effects.
