Thank you for your response. I was aware of the possible side effects but wanted to hear from someone who had experienced some of them.
I was on Aclasta , a Bisphosphonate IV medication.
I was on it for over 5 years twice a year as I was fracturing all the time.
Unfortunately I experienced Severe bone and muscle pain.
Hair loss and hair colour change from redhead to blonde. I also got Osteonecrosis on both sides of my jaw bone, which required extensive dental work surgery.
Due to all these issues, my Bisphosphonates were stopped.
Always here to share.
Thanks for the info.
well 3 years on they decided they have not improved my bones so need injections. They have caused severe GORD and the tablets for that cause horrible headaches so they've been a nightmare for me :-( x
