Oh gosh. I was sick for a week after my 1st infusion. Severe!! pain in every arthritic joint; couldn’t use my hands, left leg hurt to walk so I shuffled, 102 fever for days. I have another one at the end of April and I schedule off work for the week. I can’t take ibuprofen because of kidney issues and Tylenol did nothing. I would decline the treatment except there’s research that shows zoledronic acid can protect against metastatic bone cancer.

check with you doc about taking a half dose of Reclast over at least 45 min. I had issues with Reclast (pain in wrist and CMC joint) and my doc suggested this. I didn't do this but switched to Actonel once a week. The half life in the body is 30 days so I figure if there was a problem I could stop and get it out of my system faster. Good luck
