I had a severe reaction when I took Boniva with the vomiting, muscle pain and joint pain and actually all over broken bone pain. The worst of it lasted 3 days with ongoing pain lasting around two weeks.. I immediately went back to my doctor who ran further tests and allergy reaction showed up in blood work.
The reason I bring this up is the forum members that are fearful of taking Reclast. With both being in the same family and even if you could be in the rare 1% I wonder if it's out of line to ask your doctor before committing to the Reclast to take Boniva for the once a month since it would be a concentrated dose to see what kind of reaction you had? It's a crazy thought maybe but ask your doctor and see what they say? Or is my theory totally out there?
