Reclast infusion side effects?

danny, your experience makes it clear that the rheumatologist, endocrinologist and neurologist should be answering "Reclast."
I'm grateful that you reveal your experience. Otherwise no one will know the risk they are taking with this drug.
Ideally a person reacting to Reclast would have the steroid IV soon after the infusion (as some have been hospitalized), or better, prophylactically before the infusion. While I suspect that you may have received the steroid too late, I don't know if early steroid can resolve all the negative reaction to Reclast. That you are having new symptoms is a sign that maybe it doesn't. It doesn't even seem that any of your symptoms are lessening and this new symptom is appalling.
I do know that the reaction is seldom recognized as related to the infusion.
I've wondered, do you think that you were more at risk because of latent autoimmune systems? or is any suspected autoimmune reaction directly caused by the drug.
Thanks for continuing to post.

@gently the steroids were like two maybe three months after the infusion, did nothing for the pain!

@gently I agree that the steroids were provided way to late after the infusion! As for the latent autoimmune systems? I sense that this has something to do with diabetes; something to which I’ve not really had any issues with. Although, at one point I was diagnosed as hypoglycemic. Notice I shared diagnosed, later I had the test done and the results were negative. Today it is So easy to apply a label to anyone!
