Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?

@contentandwell @jmanj I followed the Tylenol and hydration without a break. Nonetheless, I was hit with side effects on day two. At 4:30 AM last night I was awakened with shaking chills and a fever of 101.3. My whole body was shaking uncontrollably to the point it was difficult walking to get to the bathroom. I also became nauseated. I took some more Tylenol for the fever and an Ativan for the nausea. Sat in the bathroom sipping Ginger Baker for two hours. The nausea abated and I was finally able to get back to sleep ~6:30AM. I slept until 1130, but didn’t get out of bed until 130. I felt much better, my fever was gone, the nausea was still gone. I was pretty wiped out. I passed the 48 hour mark and have not gotten worse. I never had joint pain or bone pain or muscle pain and hoping I will be fine until next year.

Hi Joanne, I’m sorry you had a really bad couple of days despite following the hydration recommendations. Perhaps your good preparation kept the bone and muscle pain at bay..I’m hoping. It’s encouraging to know you seem to coming out of the worst and headed for many better healthy days ahead.

@joanme It sounds like a really tough couple of days. I am limited in the amount of acetaminophen I can take so hopefully when my day comes I won't be too miserable. Acetaminophen is the only OTC pain reliever that I can use also.

It's very surprising that your doctor would suggest possibly not having the infusion again next year considering the side effects were bearable and short lived.

At least it's just once a year, that's some comfort.
