I've never even heard of a "Zometa infusion". What is it.

*googles*

Oh, it is a bisphosphonate.

I have had infusions with bisphosphonates (albeit a different one). I think mine was alendronate or pamidronate, I can't remember. Normally they give you like 1 a week. But I got 5 in one week, every day of the week one. It was that bad. It still is, that bad. I was diagnosed almost 3 years into this, so every and all medications came to late, save for pain medications.

It is what it is.

I hope you have more luck!!!

It is great for the osteoporosis part of the condition, though! If all else fails.
