@closetmonster93 I got really sick too with my first infusion but was told it was an acute phase reaction suffered to varying degrees by 40% of people who do Reclast. I recovered after a couple of weeks (fever for 5 -7 days) and didn't have any reaction at all to my second infusion.
It would be important to distinguish between the acute phase reaction and an allergy since allergy might mean avoiding Reclast but the acute phase reaction would be unlikely to recur.

@windyshores I greatly appreciate that information. It seems that getting into one of these groups is much more helpful and informative with where, and what decisions I can or will make next. At this point, I will have to see what doctor says in January and where I sit on the bone density scan again. My bone is deteriorating fast, and so I am trying to make an informed decision about what I should do before a hip fracture.
