I had 2 IV infusions of pamidronate in 2004.

It made me very very sick with an allergic reaction that caused blood vessels in my left eye to explode leaving a tremor in my eye and a very serious case of tinnitus. I lost 20 % of my hearing because of this treatment not to mention the constant loud buzzing ringing that will never go away. It is still considered experimental and not enough info is available about the side effects. At the time this happened to me my doctor found one other patient report of the same side effects. He subsequently stopped giving this drug.

Warm wishes.
