reclast infusion

I had a Reclast treatment about a month ago. I will not do anymore of those! I had a terrible reaction to it. I woke up shaking in the middle of the night, tried to get up to go get a thermometer and found that I had no control of my muscles or spine, and couldn’t walk. I ached for days and had no control of my hands the next day. I had to miss teaching yoga for a couple of days. Within a week I was mostly back to normal. It was terrifying. My doctor never offered a slow infusion or a saline flush—I don’t know what they do, but I assume from other comments that that is supposed to help with side effects? Worts thing was, I called the doctor the next morning after the infusion, and no one would talk to me, I had to call again at 4pm because they didn’t call me back all day. Such a scary reaction and no support!

I practicly begged my Dr to give me a lower dose. He wouldn’t. I had no saline before or after. I passed out 12 hours later then had all the flu symptoms. So scary. Dr said no more. I don’t know what to do. There really isn’t anything else that I can take. I had Gastric Bypass years ago so not much out there for me to take.

My Drs nurse said That me passing out had nothing to do with the infusion.

I had mine last week and I thought I did fine, then on day 4, I had chills and extreme bone, joint and muscle pain. It’s day 8 post infusion and I am exhausted and have rotating joint pain. I already have arthritis, but this is arthritis of the worst ever. I’m supposed to take this again in 6 months, but can’t go through this again!
