Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

I wish we would stop minimizing adverse effects by calling them side effects. Side effects can be either positive or negative. A side effect of Tymlos might be stronger finger nails. Another positive side effect is weight loss upon using Ozempic, It was approved as a diabetes drug and the side effect has turned into a whole new usage for the drug. That weight loss would be an adverse effect if the diabetic patient is already thin and should not lose any more weight. Psychologically the term "side effect" carries lots less weight.

Someone once mentioned here that seldom do people post positive feedback, and I agree. I’d bet for every response that isn’t how great something worked, there’s a few or who knows how many, of people that didn’t have problems. So I try to keep that in mind when reading the reviews.
My year of Evenity went smoothly. My bones are now ostopenic, except for right hip, which is on the line of osteopenia and osteoporosis. I got my Reclast infusion (was nervous about it because of all I’ve read on the site here, but trust my doc.) the reclast went smoothly. Before the Reclast, and the Evenity injection, the endocrinologist told me to take 1000 mg of tylenol, 1000 of Vitamin D, and an extra 1000 of calcium in the morning, and to do that for two days after, also.
We are all different and some more susceptible to side effects than others.
