Acute Reaction To Reclast Infusion

Posted by askjewels @askjewels, Mar 25 8:59pm

Omg you guys. I had a 2:30 pm Reclast Infusion yesterday. I noticed the first 1/4 of the 5 mg bag dripping slowly. Then, all of a sudden, it poured rapidly from the middle of the bag to the end. Despite my calling 4 times for the nurse! It was started at 3:55 and ended at 3:07!!!!!! Less than 15 minutes. She was like, you berm in here for 30, I was like nit with an IV in my arm. Took them a long time to find my IV bag. I felt spacey when I left. Didn’t even want to get this done. I backed out the first time it was scheduled from fear. Then husband kept telling me that he was concerned of me breaking my left hip or lumbar spine while we were retired and camping next year. So I rescheduled! NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN! I fell asleep in the recliner last night. Got up at 3:40, used bathroom, crawled into bed. I woke up with chills, changed pillows twice, and peed twice. Then I got up at 10 am and I was dizzy and passing out, walked into the wall twice, left cellphone above my head in bed. I was now in the living room unable to see. I ran into the bathroom because I thought I was going to vomit, (which I don’t do) I had dry heaves 3 times and then diarrhea. I immediately took a 600 mg calcium and drank a propel. Text my husband come home. And what happened. Went to ER to get calcium and kidney levels checked. Thank Jesus they were good! But the first 1-3 days after the infusion are supposed to be worse. So I am unaware what tomorrow and Friday will hold. The ER told me I did the right thing coming in, and IF it comes back to come back in. They said acute they can fix, chronic not so much. They said my quick thinking probably worked with the calcium pill and Propel. I started taking vitamin k-2 and vitamin d and magnesium, and eating prunes and plums as an alternative to bisophates. Trouble is takes 2 years, (the date of my next bone density scan), so I felt I had to do at least 1 Reclast now. Dr wanted me to do 18 months of daily Fosomax SHOTS, I said no. (Vitamin k-2 grew my eyebrows back in in only 1 month!!!! They have been 1970 thin for 44 years!!! And magnesium. Me and hubby were taking 1/4 a night of magnesium and it grew thick hair back on the top and crown on his head, he’s been balding 45 years!!!!!

Not yet, as I just got diagnosed last August 28th. But I take: calcium, magnesium, vit k-2/d3 combo, eat a prune/plum daily. I read that in place of bisophonates, you can eat 5-6 prunes daily. Thing is, I think that I’d have diarrhea, because I drink some prune juice when I feel backed up and it softens.

@askjewels I take 5-6 prunes a day and haven't experienced any bowel type issues. I started slowly with one prune a day and then worked up to 5 a day. No issues.
