Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

This is my one year anniversary of getting Reclast. My story is a horrible one. After no issues after the infusion and two months later I unfortunately got the many side effects that are listed on Mayo Clinic’s list. They are awful. Stomach pain, vision loss, joint and muscle pain, huge weight gains, hair loss and so much fatigue. It’s ruined my life. My life. 67 years old. Before Reclast I was a happy healthy active woman. I don’t see my kids or grandkids anymore. Been to tons of doctors and psychiatrists and no one can help me. I ask God why? What did I do to deserve this? When or if it will all go away? I blame me. I blame the doctors and the drug company. I know this drug has been helped many people but for me my life is ruined. And records show that the drug stays in you for 10 years. So 9 more to go. If I last that long.

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through.
Did you report your symptoms/ reaction to the FDA? Or the drug company? I believe that they are not publishing the “real” side effects of this drug. And there’s little to none follow up from the providers suggesting it as a solution to osteoporosis.
I’m in constant pain on my ribs.
I hope you can try to do some exercises to relieve the pain.

@lwidstrand you will last! It’s Will Power! You need to start seeing the family members again! While visiting family members try to limit your complaints. Observe what others are doing and going through and offer support where you can….all these symptoms have hit you hard, yes, but you are the one in control here, not the Reclast! Each day, upon waking up, try to focus on the way things use to be and what little step can you take to put you back on that track! I have to tell myself daily that I am in control. There are days it truly sucks but I try hard to not let that symptom to control my day. If I feel nauseated, I just don’t consume anything at this time. If my shoulders are really hurting I try to do something that don’t rely so much on my shoulders. However, I do go to physical therapy bi-weekly and try to exercise daily; self discipline at times is required. Try to look at things positive manner, our minds are powerful, we provide it with positive thoughts and hopefully we start feeling better! Best of luck!
