"I had an Aclasta infusion in July this year with flu like side effects of muscle and bone aches and pains, dizziness and difficulty concentrating for about 4 days. After that I felt fine. More recently I find I am consistently sore every morning, with bone pain over most of my body but particularly in the sites of old injuries. The pain and discomfort abates with movement so I can live with it. I’m hoping the Aclasta has good results"

"Positive rating: given all the scary ratings here, my own Aclasta infusion for osteoporosis last month was uneventful: mild side effects were mild 'flu' symptoms like slight fever, racing heart, sore eyes, slight aching that resolved after 4 days. By day 10, I actually had more general physical well-being than I've had in years, with deep sleep at night, energy during the day. Before the Aclasta infusion, I took weekly bisphosphonate tablets, 70 mg tabs, which gave me bone pain for 2 days a week, so it's not like I don't know side effects. I'm super grateful to switch to a yearly infusion (with so mild side effects, it's hard to believe it has actually worked!). I've been very careful to take the high dose of calcium and vit D twice a day before and ever since Aclasta, so maybe that's key to preventing side effects- and as a bonus, my already thick hair is thickening with a sort of undergrowth of new hair (and there was me worrying about hair loss)."
