lollyb, I wanted to like your post for the advice about refusing to be pushed aside. I don't want register as liking your painful experience with Reclast. You are close to the 6th day I hope the effects are subsiding. If there isn't significant improvement you might ask for a 5 day prednisone taper (5 day medrol pack). I've read that it is easier on the bones than continual inflammation. I wish your doctors had been able to warn you of possible side effects.

@gently I too tried the prednisone 5day pack; did not phase my symptoms, maybe a little more energetic for a few days. 21 months out; stay awake all day, go to bed, wake in the morning feeling like I never went to bed, shoulder pain constantly, weak muscles, nausea and fatigue and yet my endocrinologist want me to have another infusion. I honestly wish I had never allowed them to give me that infusion. It’s our body and our choices. It amazing how easily we can let others recommend something and we are eager to participate. Then, when we start experiencing all the negative side effects we can become our strongest self advocate; not sure about the dollar but definitely a day late! I’ve also asked why I truly received this infusion because I was feeling fine prior, oh! My bone density is low, best received Reclast before you fractured a bone; should not break to many if I cannot move from the pain from the infusion, I guess! Best of luck !
