@ritafarmer hi rita, what was your experience like with Reclast? Having problems on Prolia and Reclast infusion suggested for August by my doctor. Have read up on it and it sounds horrible.

I did not have any side effects from reclast or prolia, bit my bone density have increased more with prolia.

I tried both and they were both horrible. Prolia works by hijacking your immune system to build bone, which I learned too late. I had an ear infection for 3 months. The Reclast was even worse; check the Mayo clinic site for side effects. If you print the list out is 1=2 pages long or so. I couldn't even plug a cord into an outlet without getting out of breath. Had to buy aviator's oxygen to get my breath back after doing anything with my arms that had resistance. I have G.I. issues, which had finally been under control before the Reclast infusion; now I'm almost back to square one. I could go on and on. Don't get either one! Some people have a problem; some don't, but don't take a chance. Whatever side effects you get you're stuck with for 6 months to a year. Contrary to what some doctors say, Reclast does had G.I. side effects, and big time.

I’m sorry to hear that Prolia is causing you problems. I wanted to let you know that I had a terrible reaction to Reclast and have chosen to not are it again. Presently, I am taking Tymlos due to a fracture I had last year but my endocrinologist is planning to have me resume Prolia afterwards, which has worked for me. Good luck trying to sort it all out🧐
