Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad that you are not in the same amount of pain. I take Anastrazole and have side effects of joint pain and hot flashes. These became worse after getting an infusion of Zometa. One of the side effects of Anastrazole is weakening of bone. I decided to take this infusion once every six months to help build stronger bones and reduce fractures by 40-70%. Good luck to you during this trying time.

With any of the aromatase inhibitors, you won't be able to avoid the hot flashes or heat bombs as they are trying to reduce the estrogen in the body. I do the Zometa every 6 months as well and am down for about a week after then from my reaction...ugh. Living in Sonoma County (northern California) and we are having fires sweep through again. Both my kids lost their homes in the Tubbs fire 2 years ago and are just now in their homes. Between fires in Napa and Sonoma counties, please everyone pray for firefighters, pilots of planes and helicopters, dozer people, livestock, wildlife, and humans.
