Just saw my rheumatologist since I could not tolerate Tymlos (hypercalcemia) and he wants to do Prolia (he said for LIFE if I prefer) or Reclast. When I asked him about a slower infusion of Reclast (suggested by @windyshores) he said his nursing staff does a 20 minute infusion and with no hydration and stated that hydration may create other problems?? I’m so confused and overwhelmed at this point. I tend to go with the opinions and information on this site and other studies I’ve read over my own doctor. It’s so sad there is not more consensus in the medical community. Bottom line, I asked for some time to think about all of this, but know I have to do something.

I had a total of 5 years of Reclast. 3 years 15 years ago and 2 years starting 5 years ago. I did not have hydration but I drank a lot of water prior to and after my infusions. I did not have any side effects.
