Default Sick on Infusion Day

Hi Melody - Glad to hear pump working well..

I've had to postphone my infusion for a day or so on the past - I get it delievered like you - and it has a life of 5 days.... they usually deliver the day before and I have woken up with a fever - called the agency - and they posphoned it for a day or so cause the meds were still good - I know the IVIG builds up your immune system - but remember, also can cause side affects, and they dont like to take a chance they are going to get worse because of an infusion... so the meds were used - just not on that day...

My agency works 24/7 - assuming yours would too (so they just sent another nurse out) - also, isnt your nurse alreay taking Alans vitals throughtout the infusion? (including temperature) I usually run a low fever for the first hour while my body gets used to it - then goes down...
