Following my Reclast infusion I contemplated not doing it again. I felt awful and kept a diary of my experience. I did post that in this forum. Maybe you can search by my name.

Anyway, the point is that by week four I was feeling back to normal. Now that I know what I'm in for ; > I will repeat the treatment in February. I'm told the side effects should lessen after the first time. Also, I will take Aleve and claritan and hydrate before and after as a few ladies have suggested.
Perhaps someone on this forum can tell us if the side effects lessen with the second Reclast treatment??

It is common to have this reaction for a few days. Sometimes the negative response to the medication is extended by the initial cytokine reaction becoming self sustaining. You might ask for a Medol 4mg dose pack. No one wants to prescribe, or take, steroids with osteoporosis, but it can interrupt the inflammatory process which is also hard on the bones. I've read that the inflammation is harder on the bones than the brief steroid.
The gentleman who conducted the clinical trials of Reclast rarely gives the second year dose. You might ask for bone markers at the end of the first year and earn a year free of bone medications.
Fatigue plus unsteadiness isn't a safe combination.
Lesliesara gives us hope.
