Zoledronic acid "I received the Reclast at 3 pm. At midnight, I woke up freezing. It felt like I was in a tub of ice. Took 2 hours to warm up. When I coughed, I had pain all over my chest and stomach. I had THC in my system. Smoking a joint made me extremely dizzy. I’ve smoked for 50 years and never felt dizzy. It is 8 months later and it’s still happening. This drug interacts with THC. Beware!"

Zoledronic acid "Diagnosed with Paget's disease in October 2019 after a tumor on my spine. I am a breast cancer survivor of 12 years. I had 10 radiation treatments to shrink the tumor and was eventually diagnosed with Paget's. I didn’t seem to have any side effects listed by most, but I have mild lymphedema from a mastectomy, which never bothered me much, just occasionally. Since the Reclast infusion in December, my shoulder and arm ache constantly and are staying swollen. I can only attribute it to the Reclast since I’ve not had a problem like this since my mastectomy in 2009. BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENT. I failed to do so immediately following the infusion for a couple of weeks because I misunderstood my doctor, and I ached horribly and got painful ulcers in my mouth. This cleared up after I got those supplements in my body. After reading all these lingering, aching side effects, I wondered if everyone realized the importance of these supplements being taken every day."
