Hi Everyone! I'm new to this group. Just read a bunch of your posts, and it looks like I am in the right place.
I've had two Prolia injections several years ago, which left me with severe bone pain that lingered for months as well as horrible itching on my hands and fingers that became so bad that no amount of washing, alcohol, cortisone cream, Benadryl, or even bentonite clay, could vanquish. I was ripping my skin off constantly.

Of course, without treatment, even with all the exercise I do, the osteoporosis came back.

I had my first Reclast infusion five days ago. Within twelve hours I had severe flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, aches, headache, blurred vision, fatigue, dry throat, etc.). It's five days later and I still have a violent headache and blurred vision. No NSAID cuts the headache. I am praying it goes away soon, because the pain makes it next to impossible to function, and I'm as cantankerous as the Wicked Witch of the West.
I'm sorry you all have been having such intense issues, as well, but glad to know I am among friends.

The first time I took Reclast I had flu-like symptoms for about 10-14 days. I took tylenol (NSAIDS upset my stomach) and that took care of it. My further treatments with Relcast also had flu symptoms but the time decreased to about 2-3 days. Again I just took tylenol and I felt okay and could function. I know everyone had different reactions. Sorry yours are giving you trouble. But, hopefully, the symptoms will diminish.
