I know I’ve found this subject (before I started on zoladronic acid) but can’t find it now! Just want to know how people have fared having this 6 monthly to help bones….

  • Hi, I had my first on Tues & 5 days later am still feeling unwell. I knew there could be side effects, but it has been horrible.

    Next booked for end of April next year, I've read subsequent ones aren't as bad, I really hope so as this 1st has been horrible

    Best wishes x

    Thank you! My next one is April too! I had mine along with my last phesgo injection so did feel rough a couple of days later. Bones ached, diarrhoea and once again foul taste in mouth. I’ve learnt to cope with that and try to walk regularly for at least 40 mins to ease the bone ache. I wish you well xx

  • Sorry you aren't well I have tablets for this one each morning so far not too bad been on them since July. May be worth a try instead. X

  • Hi, I am due to have my third infusion in two weeks. The first one was a bit like the proper flu (aches, tiredness but no fever) and I slept it off over a period of about 36 hours. I took paracetamol. Same effects the second time, but not quite as sleepy. Certainly bone and muscle ache, but again 36hrs. Sorry to hear that you still don’t feel well. X 

  • I'm due my 4th next month. I haven't noticed many side effects at all. A little more tired perhaps, and my mood dips for about a week, but other than that, fairly uneventful.

    1. Hi Tavares. Hope you are well. I had my first 2 weeks ago with my phesgo injection and did not get any side effects at all, thankfully. Next one is April. Hope everyone's side effects go quick and are easy to manage. Take care xxx

    Thanks Seaside! Had my first  ZA along with phesgo (last phesgo) in October. Just felt v flu like so had to buy thickly cough medicine and lozenges to stop the coughing at night. Next one in April too so I’m with you all the way! X

    Pleased for you. I guess we’re told what we MIGHT suffer and expect it to happen and when it doesn’t it’s such a relief! Nowhere nr as bad as chemo effects!

  • Perfect. We are getting there. Take care xx

  • Get my 7th on Dec 18th that will be my last …yah !  Feel a bit ropey for about week have had  some gum pain similar to sinus pain also some aches and pains .All quite manageable thank god .

    After chemo then Herceptin on three week cycle I found six monthly a relief .

    hope you all get as few SE as possible .

    One step at a time and ...Breathe !
