I've had one infusion of zolendronic acid, scheduled to have them every 6 months for a couple of years. BUT - I was one of the unfortunate few who had HORRIBLE side effects, the 'flu like' symptoms I had been told I might get involved awful joint pain and muscle weakness such that I struggled with walking for 3-4 days. I'm reluctant to go through that again for what seems to be a marginal increase in life expectancy (as well as bone protection), but have been told that the next one is usually better tolerated - anyone else had this experience and was it really much better the second time?
