Zoledronic Acid

Everyone’s different Hennie  but the SE you mention sound fairly normal in my experience . I had my last one (no.7) on the 18 th December still feel slightly  nauseous. The SE can be quite random I always describe them as feeling fluey . The body pains tend to appear in weak areas mine were in lower back and ankles . Also some kidney pain  along with UTI make sure you drink plenty before and after infusion ..

I’ve made it sound. Dreadful but it usually only last couple of weeks I believe the benefits outweigh the SE 

My story is on my profile feel free to read if you wish 

take care 

Hi Hennie, I felt like I'd been run over by a bus after my first one, really bad flu symptoms, lasted about 24-36 hours.  No side effects at all after my 2nd one and I had my 3rd a few days before Christmas, again no wide effects at all. The nurse told me sometimes it's only the first one that causes issues…… best wishes, hope you feel better soon 

Sorry to hear you had the reactions, I was really unwell for a week, temperature, shivers, headaches, lost appetite, aches & pains, fatigue.

I'm told the 2nd should be as bad but not looking forward to it!

Hope you feel better soon x

2nd shouldn't be as bad

Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that others have had it too. Hope you are doing ok?x

Thanks  I think I have everything that you can possibly get as a side effect. Glad to hear the second isn’t too bad. Good luck for number 2 to you hopefully it will be fine for us both x

Thanks Margaret hopefully it will pass soon. I hope you are doing ok x

I think that is a normal reaction, though I have had 4 now and the only reaction I get is a subtle lowering of mood and irritability for about a week. 

Should have said, I also get tired out for a week

I also had first zoladronic acid a few weeks ago, coughed all night but bought tickly cough medicine. Flu like symptoms which made me feel awful but tried to carry on as normal. It all went within a week. Onwards and upwards! Best wishes!
