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

@micheleroyalty7 This approach of stopping bone loss is counterproductive! The normal bone modeling process involves losing old bone and building new bone. This medication stops the process and leaves you with old brittle bones, more likely to fracture. I don't think you did as much research as you needed to. My dentist said they will refuse to do dental work on patients taking those kinds of drugs. And it can take years to get out of your system once you stop too. Building strong bones is making sure you get the right minerals, which is the right kind of Calcium, Vit D3, Vit K2/MK-7, Vit C, and Magnesium 1:2. It's hard to get it all through food, so a supplement like BoneUp is essential, along with weight-bearing exercise; walking, aerobics, basically any weight-bearing activity, even washing the car. Just be consistent. Drugs had side effects and are in a class of bisphosphonates.
Bisphosphonates, such as etidronic acid (HEDP), are used in cleaning products primarily for their corrosion inhibition and chelating properties. They help prevent scale and corrosion in various industrial applications, including cooling water systems and detergents.

@diddlyd
I suggest you look up zoledronic acid on Wikipedia.
You don’t have a medical background, but Wikipedia is pretty thorough.
Zoledronic acid does increase cell mass in bone marrow, and reduces cell death in the bone marrow.
Your conclusion that its use is counterproductive in contradicted by the hundreds of thousands of patient data available.

Recast decreases bone brakes by 50% over 3 years. Bone brakes in women
over 65 is very common and at that age bone loss is very common. Hip
replacement is not possible so nursing home care is common. Most insurance
doesn't cover this unless the person is so poor they can get Medicaid. The
pain level is high and many cannot walk.
This drug has been studied in cancer patients too, which I research.
If a patient has dental problems this drug is not recommended.
The side effect are low. I had no side effects.
As I am 78 years old I figure I have 8 years left to live. I moved to a 1
story home with space for home care.
This is FDA approved and the figures I quote are from clinical trials
conducted 20 years ago. Medicare has a high database that proves the
reduction in bone loss is true after all these years. They keep track of
all doctor visits and hospitalizations.
There are many databases and ongoing research in this country and
worldwide. The National Library of Medicine has a Hugh database as well.
The Mayo Clinic also recommends this treatment.
