Reclast infusion today
I just wanted to let people know about my recent Reclast infusion. I hydrated for a couple of days before the infusion with water and coconut water for potassium. I take ionic magnesium daily in water and drink it all day. Before my infusion I took ibuprofen and 4 Zyrtec. 2 in the AM, which I normally take and 2 more an hour before the 2 pm infusion. My specialist told me I can take that for my severe allergic reaction to fragrance. Even though the hospital is fragrance free, I always run into fragrance there. This time is was the warm blanket and pillow.
About 5 pm, I started feeling wishy washy like I had to think hard about doing things. For example, using the microwave I turned on the vent while cooking. When I no longer needed the fan, I couldn't find the correct button to shut the vent fan off. It was un-nerving. Eventually, I figured it out. It reminded me of when I had bad Lyme disease. I was extremely hungry, ate my dinner and then ate a whole sleeve of crackers, which I have never done before. I got very tired and went to bed early. I had strange dreams. For example, I dreamt I grew a second spine. When I woke up my body was achy and I felt nauseous. Today, I am able to putter around, but it is a low energy day. If this is as bad as it gets, and is temporary, I would get the infusion again, if it helps retain the bone that I hopefully built with the 12 months of Evenity. If anything changes, or gets worse, I will let you know.

It will be good to know what your Dexa Scan shows! I hope a huge rise!!
I'm on your tract with 3rd Evenity injections in a week.. I'm just starting out~ best to you!!
Can you please share details of your experience with the Reclast infusion?
I did post details previously.
Mainly I did OK until 3 hours later, then got chills, some nausea, I dreamt I had 2 spines probably because my back ached. I stayed in bed the next day, but by 24 hours later, I was able to feed my horse and chickens and cook dinner. By three days, I was completely fine!
