Reclast reaction

Posted by bettyleigh @bettyleigh, 6 days ago

I had reclast two days ago. Yesterday I woke up with what felt like a mild case of the flu and progressed throughout the day to severe nausea, shakes and chills and bad headaches. Today is a bit better. Has anybody ever experienced this. I have not taken any other medication or infusions for osteoporosis.

@nycmusic no pain no gain. My bones fell apart in cervical spine surgery. (which is where the side effects seemed to focus when I did the first infusion. I will deal with the side effects. I did the research. My infusion team failed me. Next time we will all be prepared. I won't be 3 weeks out from a double spine surgery, I will flush fluids, take an NSAID, and they will slow the infusion down - and maybe even do less. (Research proves this can successfully be done.) But I won't miss out on it, that is for sure!!! I learned a lot over 3 years. I want stronger bones. My friends are all fracturing and breaking theirs.

@loriesco sounds like the best way to take Reclast is to slow down the infusion to 45 minutes, maybe reduce it—and to pre-hydrate and to pre-medicate….similar to how better to deal with chemo……i recently went through dealing with CRC ,and am just getting enough energy to exercise meaningfully….will choose an OP med (i have moderate OP) a little later…learning a lot from this site….thanks everyone !

Hopefully you continue to feel better! It has been over 18 months and I continue having pain in both arms, shoulders and my left foot! I will not be getting another infusion!

Re: Reclast infusion
I had the infusion eleven months ago and have not felt anywhere near well since. I understand it’s great for all ages and most people have no after effects. Unfortunately I am affected.
I’m pushing myself to go to the gym. Hopefully my strength will return and I can become stronger and feel better. That’s my goal.
