Reclast side effects

Oh, yes, jobandmob. There are so many people on this site alone that have had serious side effects from Reclast. Go back to the beginning of these postings and just start reading. It's long, but well worth your time. So many people have had so many side effects. I personally have talked to at least 6 doctors of various specialties. You know. All the usual suspects...Endocrinologists, Rheumatologists, Immunologists, and of course my family doctor. The response is always the same. "Nope. Not the Reclast." It's bad enough that we are having these side effects, but the fact that none of them will acknowledge that they are from the Reclast, or another bone pill, when we know they are, is worse than frustrating, it's outrageous! In the case of lylii (see above), she had already diagnosed herself, and the doctors wouldn't help her until the time frame for a simple solution had passed. We've got to get through to these people. Not sure how, but we patients have to be heard soon and LOUDLY.

@dingus keep in mind that many do tolerate Reclast and have gains in bone density. People tend to post when there are problems.

That said, I too have run into the MD line of "I haven't heard of that from anyone else." I think pharmacists know a lot more about side effects than doctors, from my own experience. I talk to my pharmacist or call him up with questions, and he has been very helpful.

It is hard to read the accounts of severe side effects and I hope all those posting find relief. I struggle with many meds myself.
