Zoledronic Acid: I need feed back for this drug please

I had my first Zometa infusion for bone strengthening (along with my chemo treatment) due to bone metastasis. I felt like crap for 2-3 days, extreme fatigue, queasiness/loss of appetite, bone & muscle aches, headache. Much worse than chemo side effects. I’m scheduled for a second infusion in 3 weeks, and almost want to refuse it. I know the benefits likely outweigh the risks, but I’m also hesitant to do anything that further deteriorates my quality of life.
I think my oncologist said side effects may be less with second treatment. Anyone who can comment on your experience?

I had problems where I nearly passed out during infusion so the following ones they slowed the infusion down and that helped. As far as the bone aches and feeling like a bad flu, that's part of it for some of us. If you can schedule toward the end of the week so you'll have a weekend to recuperate, it may help. I would tell my family when this was being done and they would know I'd just kind of be laying around for a while. The first time took me a week to recoup and after that a shorter period, maybe 3-4 days.
