I had a Reclast infusion almost 3 weeks ago and it wreaked havoc with my digestive system. I am still trying to recover and it’s horrific. Colitis and esophagitis. I’ve lost so much weight and at times feel hopeless. I’m telling you this because maybe where you had some stomach issues before they can give it to you in smaller doses, instead of overwhelming your system

@annar I have posted elsewhere that my doctors said that a 2mg dose is not uncommon. Full dose Relcast is 5mg annually. I was doing 1 mg at the doctor's suggestion, but every three months- due to afib and kidney disease. I had a CTX done a few weeks ago and the doctor said my bone turnover was suppressed sufficiently at that time so I have not yet had my 3rd infusion. My 1st and 2nd were June and Sept.
The first weeks of the first infusion can be an "actue phase reaction." I had a fever and fluish symptoms and some GI stuff. It did not happen the second time and I have read it is most likely the first time. I hope, for you, that this is an acute reaction that happens a lot, and not a longer term side effect!
