I have just started Reclast a week ago. Everything was going good, 3 days later my side effects started, nausea, body aches. Day 4 it was a little worse, now night sweats also. Day 5 was bad all day, aches, nausea fever. 7 pm that evening I got sore bones, joints, headache and during the night worst night sweats ever. Hardly any sleep from the bone pain, my neck is the worst. Woke up 5 am ready to go to ER, but I didn't thinking what can they really do for me. Pain is unbearable, called my clinic and haven't heard back yet, 3 hours later. I've been taking Tylenol arthritis thru it all, helps a little. This is a once a year infusion, I WILL NOT be doing this again. I'm a strong person and can tolerate pain but this I couldn't.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, gone thru 12 weeks of chemo, 20 days of radiation and still getting HER2 infusion till January. That was a walk in the park compared to the Reclast. Any helpful suggestions??
