I took reclast in February 2008. My endocrinologist said it was the best drug on the market for the treatment of osteoporosis and it had few and begnine side effects. I had doubts but chose to believe what he told me. Since then I've done a lot of research and this drug appears to have more side effects than one can think of. I feel I've been used as a guinea pig. I started feeling sick almost immediately and by June 2008 I thought I was going to die. I had to stop working in June because of my health. After three months I lost my health insurance. I have gone in debt to pay for medical--fortunately ---I have equity on my home and have been borrowing from my equity loan to pay my bills. I've seen dentists and oral specialist becuse I've grown bones in my mouth (tori and exostosis), my blood calcium is high and my vitamin levels go up and down. I suffer from intense burning sensations especially on my back, head and inside my left ear. I am in chronic pain and scared as doctors seem to know very little about the effects of reclast. The pain doesn't seem to get better. My endocrinologist put me on anxiety medications and basically washed his hands of this whole mess. My primary physician has been really good and has had me have numerous tests to try and find out what's going on. So far no luck. I am worried, ill, and scared. Reclast has taken my health, my job, my peace of mind and has ruined me financially.
