I prepared for my first reclast infusion just as directed by amping up my water intake all weekend. Infusion was midway Monday and I had no symptoms leaving the hospital and thinking maybe I will be one of the lucky ones. Didn’t sleep well, body aches and headache started Tuesday morning with extreme tiredness and drowsiness. By noon my chills so bad my teeth chatter and my electric blanket on high was not enough to warm me up. My husband checking my temp stayed at 102 all afternoon. He diligently attended me with cool damp cloths for my forehead and back of my neck. And he kept up with my Tylenol intake precisely on time so I’d have in my system and lots and lots of water. I was nauseous and had stabbing pains that would make me call out Ouch! I was just so miserable! Today is Wednesday and had a up and down toss and turn night trying to find a comfortable position. My splitting headache continues with almost crippling joint pains even my skin is sore . My face feels like it’s blistered from the sun. I’m rethinking the infusion next year.

@crown7930 Wednesday day 3 one of my eye really getting red and eyelid puffy no pain tho. Eye problem in take home drug side effects listed as rare and a medical emergency. Texted my orthopedic office to inform them of my symptoms also i want these side effects im experiencing in my chart if I change my mind to get the 2nd infusion next year. Nurse called late afternoon totally cut me off about flu symptoms and fever and said go to ER now about eye. I tried explaining not severe just unusual and I don’t want it to get worse and be a med crisis. As awful I felt sitting in pjs going to ER would be a nightmare so I called my eye doctor got appmt next day. Eye was some worse Thurs day 4. Good eye report just inflammation from Reclast that caused fever. Diagnosed OTC drops and cool ice packs for swelling. Doctor said your body definitely did not want that medicine talking about Reclast. BTW joint pain not gone but better and headache not constant just comes goes.

@crown7930 I had the same reaction plus vomiting. NEver again. Poison
