So I had my first Reclast infusion in 1-22. It took this long for me to try it again because I had a bad reaction. I recall feeling fine until I woke in the middle of the night with a 103 temp and severe joint pain. By morning I was also vomiting and couldn’t keep anything down. I spent a miserable wait in the ER during a Covid surge. I ended up being off work for 3 weeks due to joint pain and also recall my ankles and feet being very swollen. My PCP had never had anyone with this type of problem and consulted the Endocrinologist who told him that it wasn’t common but does happen sometimes.
Today I had my second infusion after consulting with the Endocrinologist and deciding this was still my best option. This time I’m on steroids for 3 days. I’m also planning on getting up every 2 to 3 hours throughout the night to hydrate and medicate. The infusion nurse mentioned that some people have reported that Zyrtec helps with the joint pain although they don’t know why. So I’m taking that too. I’ll update how it goes in a few days.
