Zoledronate infusion

Had my yearly Zoledronate infusion (for osteoporosis due to bucket loads of steroids over 25 years) last Friday week. The first time I had it four years ago I had every side effect ever listed (or it certainly felt like it!)

Over the last three years the side effects are hardly apparent apart from feeling a bit knocked off and head-achey over about ten days. Anyone else found they've felt like this for a good few days after the infusion?

Thanks. Look forward to hearing other experiences.

However, I didn't have any side effects worth mentioning.
