@nycmusic no pain no gain. My bones fell apart in cervical spine surgery. (which is where the side effects seemed to focus when I did the first infusion. I will deal with the side effects. I did the research. My infusion team failed me. Next time we will all be prepared. I won't be 3 weeks out from a double spine surgery, I will flush fluids, take an NSAID, and they will slow the infusion down - and maybe even do less. (Research proves this can successfully be done.) But I won't miss out on it, that is for sure!!! I learned a lot over 3 years. I want stronger bones. My friends are all fracturing and breaking theirs.
