Thanks!!! Yea, I have read that they can now flush it with NS, but I read a few places it can't run at the same time with NS (but I can't find anywhere as to why?? Does it deactivate it, make it clot or something? Humm).. They say flush and NS before and after is fine though.


Oh yes, I got really bad aseptic meningitis with my first treatment in the hospital (temp to 103.5.. horrid pain just to walk on the ground to the bathroom - as my spine was so irritated).. I have had Aseptic meningits about 4 or 5 times now.. We couldn't run it over 70 for the longest time - chest pain and neck and headache.. temp would spike within 15 min, it was crazy! So, we have slowly gotten up to 100, but I haven't tried going past that the past 1 year or more.. I am thinking maybe I will try inching it up the next treatment.. It's hard to be there for like 7 or 8 hours! So, they had thought maybe running it concurrently with the NS might help dilute it and I could run at a faster rate?
