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.

I’m really surprised to hear that an MD would discourage you from continuing next year. While you certainly experienced some difficult few days, the worst of those issues prayerfully seemed to have now subsided. Yes, others may have experienced worse effects from the drug, but if you’ve done relatively well, why not encourage you…seems counterintuitive to what a reasonable should be doing?
I experienced flu-like symptoms following my Covid vaccine but, I still took the 2nd shot and can’t wait until a booster is recommended if it would mean warding off this horrid virus! I’d do the same w/ taking the 2nd round of Reclast if I were you.
I will find out on Monday if Reclast is definitively what’s recommended for me, likely so. If so, I will do my utmost to prep for the infusion and pray that any post-effects are as minimal as possible.
Of course I’m torn as to whether to take this drug, as have of all of us who have had to make this difficult decision, but to continue to have my scores decline as they’ve done year on year frightens me horribly as well. I’m going to work on holistic approaches over the next year in combination w/ the drug however unfortunately I’m at the point that I’ve waited too long to address this problem,
to rely on holistic alone to improve my scores fast enough before I have an incident.
Please continue to let us know how you’re doing…hopefully better each day! Toni

@lioness thanks for the info. I’m glad that you didn’t have problems with the drug. I know you’ve had lots of problems with your back, though. Are you getting better?
