I did the same thing -- 32 oz of water before the infusion and 48+ oz of water after the infusion throughout the day. Mild flu-like symptoms for a few days, then symptom free. It's been a year since the infusion. This summer, I turned my wobbly ankle while gardening in my backyard and fell on my concrete driveway and did not break any bones! (I've broken bones 14 times in minor or not-so-minor falls in the past, so this could be a sign that the Reclast helped in this past year.) I'm also attending very challenging one-hour Group Power classes with free weights at my local fitness club 3X a week.
