@SummerPrevails I’m so sorry you are struggling with this. I’ll answer each question in order..because it was now 9 months ago I can’t quite remember the time but no longer than 30 mins, I went out for lunch with my daughter afterwards. Didn’t feel any effects that day. I had mine done by a nurse who used rooms at a local dorevitch for convenience. Definitely only once a year I’m due again in June and I was told most patients usually only need it a maximum of 5 years but often less. ,we will see! Last year I paid approximately $275. But don’t quote me on that. I’m at work again in the morning so I’ll check it out. It’s dispenced as ‘Aclasta’. My gp wrote the script I had to get it and take it to the appointment. I haven’t had Neulasta so cant compare. It was really rotten for just one day and then achy uncomfortable tired for about 3/4 more. But maybe if I had rested and not worked through it would have been better. The nurse said it’s always worse the first year. Absolutely no side effects since. Yes I was worried about my teeth , I’ve spent a lot of money on them and would be devistated if something happened. But the important thing is to have a good check up and any work done prior to the infusion. The dentist told me he would be worried if I needed an extraction and had just had an infusion. I hadn’t been for 5 years! Lol lucky for me I was fine but important to go each year prior to infusion.
As for your broken wrist.. hopefully. My gp just said.. please tell me you have had broken bone.. no🙄 so do chase that one up. I know it’s so exhausting all of these rotten unexpected side effects but try and deal with one at a time. I found my decision to have the infusion was easy for me. I was more scared of the osteoporosis getting worse and me having a fall and breaking my hip or back so Im of the yes please let’s do and take everything we can variety. I will look into it tomorrow price wise for you and let you know but I do hope you qualify for subsidy due to the wrist. Anyhow I’d better try and get some sleep and hope you can too. I promise the infusion didn’t hurt xo JanineG
