Reclast or zoledronic acid

Posted by sue417 @sue417, Jul 17, 2024

Hi
I just had my 3rd infusion 3 weeks ago of zoledronic acid.
It's been a nightmare. 5 days in stomach pain severe. Ended up in emerg. Bad gastritis, been having vertigo , nausea , anxiety my sodium was extremely low. Fatigue. It's been so difficult I will not do this again. Add the radiation fatigue bot fun

@sue417 I intentionally don’t usually drink electrolyte drinks because they raise my bp which is controlled by medication, but my dr did tell me on the virtual call to sip on them.

@sue417 my rheumatologist didn’t tell me anything other than to take calcium and vitamin d after she told jr that I had it. The infusion center told me to take Tylenol and drink two glasses of water before I come at 2:30 pm. I did that. And I have taken Tylenol afterwards and every 6 hours since for the past 9 days since. I switched from fruit juices to straight water two weeks before I decided to try Reclast. And I did take Tylenol the day before for a headache.

Hi
I actually eat during my infusion I take a protein bar and cheese and grapes. It seems to help me so you have to find your own way I guess because everybody's bodies are different
