Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

I had Evenity for 12 months, now Reclast. I will start April 3rd. I too was wondering if people have no side effects. My friend said she was sick for 3 days with intensely painful bones, fatigue, and misery. Today I asked my Dr about it all. She said most people have flu like symptoms for 3 to 4 days. She said go to infusion well hydrated, take Tylenol, and if I have bad symptoms, take Zyrtec. She is going to give me the 45 minute infusion because that may cause fewer side effects. There is a 15 minute one.

Hi, I had the Reclast infusion on February 8th. The infusion was approximately 35 minutes. I drank a lot of water starting a few days ahead and the day of. I felt fine the day of the infusion but the next day, I was feverish with body aches and a headache. I felt off for about 5 days. I would say that I don't have any other side effects currently other than I feel a bit more tired at times that could also be related to the cold/flu that I am getting over. Overall I have continued to be very active and have no lasting effects.

I drank a lot of water (about 64 oz) two days before and the day before and I made sure I got in at least 16 oz before the infusion. I also did the Tylenol routine of the night before and every 4 hours after that for two more days. I felt fine until the evening of the infusion when I had some chills, was tired and my back ached a little. Mentally and emotionally I was completely fine. I am sure it's different for everyone but I was ready for the worst from all the posts I read online so I was surprised by how little it affected me. I hope for the best for you and whoever else reads this. Just remember it's not a certainty that it will be bad.
