Reclast infusion today

Thanks for sharing your experience with Reclast. I too have just completed 2 years of Tymlos with insignificant gains and plan to do Evenity for 1 yr. and then transition to Reclast. Im curius as to the gains you made on Evenity. Would you kindly share this info with me as I'm feeling a bit hesitant about starting Evenity.

I don’t know what my gains are with Evenity. I had a dexa scan before, but none after. It is scheduled. My Dr said it will keep working to build bone for a while yet, it doesn't just stop. When I know, I will tell everyone! I didn’t have side effects. I had a cardiovascular work up.
I did ask for the injections to be given very slowly to reduce injection site irritation and found that my stomach was the best place for injections.
Best wishes

Also, an update on Reclast symptoms. I had to stop puttering, turned on my electric blanket because I was shivering with cold, and crawled in. Later, about 4 PM, I felt a bit better. The achiness subsided a bit and I was able to go feed my horse and chickens. This morning, I just have some aches and am a bit more tired than usual. Good day to work on my taxes.

I am wondering if the foggy thinking yesterday was from a storm of cytokenes in my body, which affected my brain?

My Fellow Reclastonites,

Don't forget to have your doctor prescribe a "slow infusion" for Reclast and that the tech/nurse who administers it adheres to that request. Prior to my last infusion, I remembered my doc telling me that it should take 45 minutes to an hour for the infusion . . . when I asked my nurse, she said, "Oh, only about 15 minutes." Had I not asked and verified . . . just sayin'!

It is my understanding that the longer infusion time causes fewer side effects.

Wishing everyone sunny skies and strong bones! Cheers!

Great information. Ty

My infusion nurse said it would take 30 mins. My Dr said she was putting in for 45 minutes. I told the nurse and because 'they weren't busy', she would do the 45 minutes, but she 'had never heard of it, and it wouldn't make a difference '. So, speak up!

Keep looking up. It is great that you have animals to take care of.

I had 5 yearly Reclast infusions. Never had a side effect. Phew! My endo told me last year that there are only so many Reclast infusions one can have thus I was taken off Reclast and now I have Prolia shots. After reading the comments here about Prolia ( very negative) and not having any side effects…I recently spoke to my previous endo associated with a top NYC hospital. I moved, hence, the new endo. My old endo stated that there is fantastic research on Prolia to show that it rebuilds bones and I will be on it for the rest of my life. So…I am here to say to all the naysayers….if your doctor recommends Prolia…take it!! I am 75, never had any fractures and looking forward to my next DEXA with the hopes of seeing positive bone health. Good luck to all.

I am curious, 3 days out, how are you doing? I started out a lot like you described only some symptoms did not go away and I acquired other symptoms, such as terrible shoulder and foot pain, nine months later, still have it!

I am sorry you still have symptoms. I am fortunate that pretty much at the 24 hour mark symptoms started to remarkably reverse. By day three, they were completely gone. I don’t know if it made s difference, but I took maximum doses of Zyrtec for a couple of days, hydrated and paid close attention to getting natural electrolytes. I didn’t take my statin for a few days thinking my body may be taxed from filtering. More than likely, it was just luck.
