Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!

So sorry that you are having this problem! I have osteoporosis and have been considering Reclast infusion, temporarily delayed until after some dental work. I normally am not too concerned about possible side effects of meds; but reading the AI descriptions of side effects of Reclast, I have become concerned not only about possible femur fracture, but also about jaw damage and "mild" (supposedly) cognitive effects on older people. I will be 90 this year, live alone, handle my own affairs, and so far have a sharp mind; but there is a family history of dementia. I don't want to risk even "mild" cognitive decline, but AI is not a resource that I wish to base a decision on.
Any suggestions as to reliable resources about frequency of these negative effects of Reclast??
(Other than a very painful and unusual reaction to Xarelto after taking it for a year, I have had no other negative reactions to meds.)
