I start Reclast in 2 wks. I have had lung cancer-6.5 yrs free-Diagnosed with COPD, Asthma, AFIB, RA, Osteoarthritis, Barretts Esophogus, Hypothyroidism, I have a partial colectomy, ventral hernia, kidney disease- Burst spine fracture-shoulder fracture. I have been 2 yrs on Tymlos and am not sure what is the best follow up with my other diagnoses. Appreciate any suggestions. I am 76 yrs old

@alicevondall Ask for a 45 minute infusion. They should do a saline flush before and after. Take 650 mg of Tylenol the day before (after each meal), day of, and day after, and hydrate well. I try to get at least 54 oz. of water in me each day during that time. I also take an antihistamine the day before, day of, and day after, but you may not choose to do this. The hydration and Tylenol are key. They can drastically reduce the chance of acute phase reactions. Best of luck to you.

@alicevondall i had a bad reaction most don’t. Ask them to put it in slowly and hydrate a lot before they do it. Even using iv fluids is a good idea.
