Zometa

Hi Jgau, I had some fluey type symptoms and a few joint aches after my first Zometa infusion but these cleared up after a couple of days, and I just took some paracetamol. I had my second infusion last month and was fine afterwards, with no side effects. As with any medication though side effects will vary from person to person but I hope that you don't feel too rough after your next infusion.

Hi Jgau 

I am today considering taking Zometa and will see Doc in person in 3 weeks.

so you feel washed out for a week or more? Do let me know if that changes! I’m gonna have to make some day to day changes if tiredness continues….

Hi Thank you for your reply.  Guess I’ve been unlucky with this one.  Hope it subsided soon.

Hi,  I couldn’t go to one of my classes and I did get flu like symptoms and tiredness which has lasted a week.  Been out walking today tho. 

Hi, I was wiped out for about 12 hours with flu symptoms, then fine. 

Thanks Jgau. I’m seeing onc at end of March and will go for ZA. I’ll let you know how I get on after my first infusion.

infusions for everyone is so different, I think I’ll be offered 1 every month for 3, then every 3 months, not sure if it goes to every 6 months?

when is your next infusion?

Hi Jayhay,  after 2 weeks I am still wiped out.  I’m going to contact oncologist and let him know.  I’m absolutely exhausted.  Mine is every 6 months for 3 years. J xx

How are you doing Jgau? What did onc say?

im feeling tired although sleep well at moment, sea air and walks help, from our motorhome which is wonderful.
