@annar being sick in a variety of ways is experienced by 40% of people who do Reclast, I have read ("Great Bones" by McCormick). You are still within the timelime for that "acute phase reaction." I had a fever and was in bed for a week or more.
This is unlikely to happen again.
If you are still having severe symptoms from Reclast in a month or so, let us know! Sorry your acute phase reaction is so difficult.
One suggestion: Low sodium V-8 is very rich in potassium. I take that, magnesium, calcium and Vitamin D3. My challenge is hydrating. If you can do it, that helps too.
I have several spinal fractures and they are most certainly life-altering and potentially life- threatening. They affect my GI, heart, lungs. Lots of pain and disability. If others have osteoporosis that is less severe, there may be other options to consider but meds are a necessity for some on this forum!

I also forgot to mention that I am someone who did much research before choosing this option and did not find anything in how terrible the effects can be for some.

I’m sorry to hear that you also suffered. Luckily for me they found no spinal fractures and for that I am grateful. And while I understand drugs are necessary for many things we go through as human beings and we are lucky to have the options modern medicine has to offer. I feel that we as patients are sometimes ill informed of all possible side effects. I wish you the best on your journey.
