Before my bisphosphonate infusions (May 12-14, 2014), I could regularly get a 60 degree reading on my affected foot versus a 92-93 degrees (normal) on my unaffected foot when the affected foot was cold. Yes, over 30 degrees. The reason I got the thermometer was because I wanted to try biofeedback to see if I could change the freezing cold affected foot temps. I couldn't. Since my infusions, I rarely feel much difference nor do I measure skin temp. I just checked it and both are 93 degrees - the same.

I got a lot better in many ways after the bisphosphonate infusions in May after I got through the side effects but the affected leg continues to be extremely swollen and edematous which is still a huge problem. I'd say I've relapsed some but I've never been as bad as I was before them. I was already 14 months into it before the infusions with a lot of involvement.
