i heard from others that a reclast infusion takes 45 min
BUT ASK THE nurse to take 90 minutes, it is easier on your body.
they might've even said to hydrate a lot beforehand - but ask around.

hi, I've read and enquired much after Mum had injury after 5 yrs of prolia [now also called corora], and after 5 local drs (general, and specialist) guessing incorrectly, the best they could do is keep her on prolia, i.e they don't know anything more they can do.
i've corresponded to a couple of leading Australian endocrinologists whose opinions and experiences i trusted; here's what they've said, each, in no particular order:
• can't stop prolia unless followed by next drug type. (we know that.)
• one said use alendronate at the 4-5 month mark into prolia, for 6 months, then start teriparatide 18mths, then back to prolia again
(but your dr is talking about reclast 2 months after evenity. if he/ she really knows what he's talking about, that to me sounds about right and sounds like a relatively good option. wish my mum had the expertise in this town to advise on her 'treatments'. )
• one of the endos was not really impressed with evenity net gains,
(not much you can do about that now).
• evenity gains at upward for the first 9 months, then after that they level out for the rest of the 3 months.
• one endo said that after stopping evenity, you go back onto prolia.
• enjoy life not obsessing too much over drug choices, eat well, make sure the place is well lit and clear paths,

i would add to all that include healthy fats and oils - butter, avocado oil, sesame oil, especially if underweight,
there is fermented soy cubes from the Asian store that are high in nattokinase;
i've heard good reports about boron supplements - read up and see what suits you...
keep moving, including gentle stretching,
i get my mum to gently stamp her feet throughout the day,
and take 3 full breaths intermittently ...
best wishes !
