Hi All,

I was in severe pain the treatment before last which included zometa along with herceptin and gemsar. I am currently on 100 mcg. fentanel patch for a compression fracture in my spine caused by BC bone mets. I called my nurse and was put on paxil for depression and elavil for the nerve pain. My skin was crawling and my legs were very restless. She told me it would take several weeks before the new meds would kick in but I am already having relief. I think the zometa is what is giving me the most pain as I did not have zometa with my last tx. and my side effects were minimal. Knees ached and I had a headache which lasted about 48 hours. I'm never without pain but I feel great this week in spite of.

Blessings, Lu Ann
