Zometa and ongoing side effects....fatigue?
Various side effects are not unusual for a day or two after an infusion of Zometa, but has anyone had ongoing side effects from the drug?
In May 2008, I replaced Actonel with Zometa to get better results with rebuilding bone loss from Arimidex. I asked to receive it as prophylactive Rx, which means doing it more often...every 6 months, and my onc agreed, so I received it again in Dec. 2008.
Since mid February, I have had 24/7 increasing/moderate fatigue that does not go away, and usually becomes more pronounced as the day goes on. Aspirin seems to help a bit. Has anyone else had ongoing side effects from Zometa? I'm trying to determine if the Zometa is the cause, or something else.
