Hi,

I know I havent been on here lately, been going thru so things. Every 6 months I go and receive Zometa via IV to help build up my bone dentisty that I lost from the treatment. And B12 to help build me back up. I am getting frustated everytime I receive the Zometa I am in pain afterwards (bones hurt, alot of loose stools etc). And the same with the B12. I finally am going to speak to a "natural" dr to see what else can be done.
