For Osteoporosis "I am a 63-year-old woman. I had my first Reclast infusion 5 days ago. I had a fever, chills, and a major headache that lasted all night after the procedure. I was not told to drink water or to take Tylenol prior. Make sure you do both! The next day I felt okay. The next night I had chills, fever, racing heart, and Tylenol helped. I have throbbing discomfort in my hips and a feeling of being 'unwell.' I hope this subsides."

For Osteoporosis "I had my Reclast infusion on 10-19-21 and will say I was extremely nervous from all the negative reviews. However, my experience wasn’t bad at all. I’m on my 4th day after and feel great. I did, however, after 12 hours, develop fever, chills, body aches, headache, but they weren’t that bad. Very tolerable. The worst was the chills and severe night sweats on the second night. Felt a little tired and headache on the 3rd day, but great after. My Dexa scan was -2.4. I will get another bone density test and pray it’s improved. I will definitely do it again. Trust my doctors."

For Osteoporosis "I have had 3 bone fractures in a year, so I decide it's time for a dexa scan. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my arms and osteopenia in other parts. I was recommended Reclast infusion, but no prep instructions before I received it. I suggested to the medical provider to double the dose of saline infusion with Reclast, so that the drug is more diluted in my veins, but they told me it's not a practice. About 12 hours later, it hit me so hard that I was in bad shape for 3 days with dizziness, fever, and bone pain. It took me 2 weeks to be normal again. I was hoping that it might be worth it. And... it was. After 6 months, I went on a holiday to Europe, where I privately did another Dexa scan (in the US you can do it every 2 years), and the test showed an improvement of bone density of 35% - 50%! I am so excited! I also added more stretching and lifting exercises to my daily routine, and more walking. I definitely will continue with Reclast in the future and follow the pre-procedure advice that others mentioned."
