Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?

I am still having huge side effects -it has been 5 months since I had the Reclast infusion. I can't sleep, I am weak and dizzy, muscle spasms, my joints ache constantly. I put on 8 lbs the first month after the infusion and cannot get it off! I exercise every day but it is painful. I have headaches and earaches. I am so tired of feeling so crummy. I will never have another infusion of this poison.

I’ve had three infusions of Reclast with no side effects. My doctor always has me get an infusion of what I call water before the Reclast infusion. I think that really helps and makes a difference!

I’ve had somewhat similar experiences- been 6 months and definitely less aches and do feel stronger. But some sleep problems still, hands feel stiff & swollen but rings still fit?
I don’t know…
Hoping for full resolution in more time.
I read a recent study that said side effects were greatly reduced with 500 ml + IV solution given with Reclast. And that half dose was just as effective as the full 5 mg.
Hope you feel better soon!
