osteopenia
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I was given an infusion of Reclast 2 years ago and when I had my follow up DEXA last year the osteoporosis had reversed and there was a great deal of improvement. I had another infusion last year and I think I will have one more this year and then every 2 or 3 years. I can't remember the exact recommendation but my doctor always lets me know.
Anyway, the day after the first infusion I felt like I wa**** by a truck. I could not get out of bed. It was horrible. I was told that it was normal and the good news is that I shouldn't have that happen again. The next morning I got up and I was completely normal. That was the total of any kind of reaction. The infusion itself was easy, a few hours and I was on my way. I had the second one last year, got up and forgot I had it. No reaction at all.
My endo is very pleased and feels that as long as I keep up my calcium and D I should continue to improve.
