My mother (77) had her first Reclast Infusion about 6 weeks ago. For the first few days she felt pretty good. Then she started having side effects. Flu like symptoms, very painful joints and muscles, weakness, etc. as the weeks have gone on - the side effects have continued to get worse and worse. She has no appetite, no strength, very very tired, can't keep up with any of her daily routines, has very bad pain. We have contacted the doctor on several times. He has prescribed pain meds - changed the pain meds, given her anxiety and antidepressants. They did do another blood draw at the end of the week which we are still waiting to hear back on. To be frank - my mom is scared to death that she won't get any better ever!!. My father is worried as well. Can anyone give me any input on their experiences with this. How long do these side effects continue??? Mom keeps saying that having taken this medicine is the worst mistake she has ever made in her life.View Thread
Thanks Janemarie55 for your encouragement. It is good to hear that you recovered from this. I will let my mom know that - it will give her hope. I know she won't ever have the Reclast again.View Thread
