For Osteoporosis "My 85-year-old mother has been having this infusion every year for the last 4 years. The first time she had it, she was quite sick afterwards with body aches and fatigue. And wishing she never had it. The doctor said next time to ask for it to be slowly administered. And it did make a huge difference with no side effects. And now she makes sure it gets administered slowly. Not everyone seems to know about this."

For Osteoporosis "Had an infusion of Aclasta 10 days ago. Had been diagnosed with a compression fracture of the spine a week prior. I wasn't really advised of adverse reactions and only told I would benefit due to a very low bone score. Had hyperparathyroidism which caused the osteoporosis. After Aclasta, I had side effects of a severe dizzy spell on day 2 and could not stand up, it lasted for two days. I also had nausea and a mild headache. After one week, severe pain in both wrists, could not hold anything, lasted for three days. I have pain in my jaw and eyelids. It is mild but constant. Hope all will come right shortly. I feel tired and slightly achy every day. Hope benefits outweigh side effects."

For Osteoporosis "I had Aclasta 10 days ago and had quite a severe reaction where my body ached terribly all over, and I could barely walk for 24 hours. The next 2 days, I was left with my body feeling dull pain all over. Since the infusion, I’ve had the worst pain in my thoracic area, like I have a knife stabbing me, and it won’t budge. I had an X-ray, no broken rib. Had a massage, nothing will fix it. So hard sleeping. I had no idea I’d be left like this."

For Osteoporosis "I had this infusion four days ago with quite some trepidation discovering I had severe gum disease beforehand (this is not a good pairing). Anyhow, I had read that slowing the pace of the infusion could help reduce any side effects and also being well hydrated. Did both. I just asked the practitioner to slow it down. Anyhow, I was fine about 10 pm that night when I had the very worst chills. Nothing could warm me or make it go away. My joints also ached: wrists and lower back the most. This lasted only about 24 hours. Unpleasant but short-lived. Next year, I will be ready and have nothing planned for the following day or two. Boy, did my back hurt. But it's gone. No ongoing symptoms. I am 64, not that fit, but osteoporosis following anastrazole for breast cancer."
