Reason: Osteogenises Imperfecta Date: 28 November 2006
Side Effects
Nausea, vomitting, fever, bone pain and a headache.(All within hours of the infusion).

Additional Thoughts
I took the treatment in 2003 and had a good report after, my bone density increased in the hips and spine the first year. The second year it stayed the same, and then this years bone density results were down alot. Therefore my doctor's suggested that I take another 6 weeks of treatment. I go once a week for a 4 1/2 hour infusion (30mg of Aredia with 500 mg of saline). I have 4 treatments done and just 2 left. I guess I'll see if it works this time, but I worry about the effects if will have on me in years to come.
