Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?

I'm in the same boat. Forteo caused my hands and feet to swell up to the point where I ended up in the doctor's office. My tolerance for some medications is poor, so I've decided to forego the Reclast infusions for now. Having seen a 10% increase in my Dexascan this time around tells me that the Evenity worked. Following up with something is necessary so I don't lose what I've gained, but the side effects for someone like me who has G.I. issues are a deal breaker. BTW - lisinopril also makes me cough!

@maryanncascella My doc is doing a "test dose" of Reclast with 1 mg instead of the full 5mg. He told me to hydrate well and I will have a slow infusion. He wants me to report side effects and tolerability. This small dose will last 3 months and I can determine the size of the next dose, myself.
