Reclast infusion side effects?

I did not have chickenpox and I did get shingles but that was before Reclast. I’ve had the shot not had shingles since. Then was told I needed Reclast since I burst a vertebrae and showed osteoporosis in my back. I did the IV and didn’t think I had any major side effects… then about 3-4 month later they discovered I was severely anemic and eventually needed a transfusion. I’m am due for 2nd shot in Sept. but I’m not inclined to take it. They said it wasn’t the Reclast but nothing else changed in my life but that.

@travelon I just started Recast August 16. No problem so far. As for the anemia, I began to notice my hemoglobin drop about three to four years ago when I was donating blood. It is common as we age to need to supplement with leafy greens and, sometimes, Ferrous Sulfate. With a breast cancer diagnosis in November 2023, I began Anastrozole in April 2024. As a result of Anastrozole, my bone density dropped like a rock, hence, the Reclast. Currently, the hemoglobin is at 15.8 which necessitates forgoing the Ferrous Sulfate and waiting for the next blood test to monitor it. It's a delicate balancing act when managing health issues as we age. Stay informed and active.

@travelon best to do your own research on the Reclast! I’ve been to endocrinologist, neurologist, and rheumatologist and not one can explain why I’ve experienced all the symptoms I’ve experienced over the past 2+ years!
